If he says they're gubbed.....game on!
If he says they're fine.....I might get out of the red for a day or two!
Cheers again guys.......any late-comers........feel free to disagree with those above!

Once you have done it once you will wonder what all the fuss was about.

Changing the brake fluid if it has not been done recently improves pedal feel quite a lot.

I would be very surprised if you actually need new discs.

It has been said that i was quite hard on the brakes and i got 22k out of mine on the exige. For you id get pagid 42s and mutts nutts grooved. Pagids for four corners will cost in the region of £220.

HTH cheers Ed

If I can do it, a reasonably well trained chimp could do it.
