Pads £21.21 from ebc.co.uk. you can just ask your local national tyres or local garage for a price. here in carmarthen about £60 inc vat fitted

. you must have done a lot of miles. go to national tyres and they will chech and tell you for free. at 16000 miles mine are hardly used.

Thanks for telling me that you got it done. National tyres do oil and filter change(unipart filter)fully synthetic castrol edge 5w40about £58 online order. if you get original filter from dealer it's £21 but national will charge you less because they won't charge for the filter, just go direct to them, not online. air filter £14 easy to change yourself, 4 screws easily accessible, if you have a diesel, my filter had plenty of crud in it at only 16000 miles, again get main dealer part about £18 and get it changed, fiddly but not too hard, again national can do it.
