Re: Insurance reccomendations
Evening all
Just renewed insurance through go compare, and got price down from £970ish to £516. The drivescore app couldn't do any better, nor could my insurance company. Gone from Swinton to Aviva

@bmostert got my nephew to order me some EBC 2 piece floating disc's, 380mm, and EBC yellowstuff pads. Just need to collect them and fit, bought B8 disc's and B9 pads due to the different caliper fitted.
Fingers crossed they fit!!
Aren't the ceramic options even bigger than standard disc's?

I downloaded an app called Drivescore, put details in etc and it monitors your driving. Also has the option to do insurance quotes on this app, did it last year and knocked a fair bit off. Will be doing the same again at end of Feb.

Brakes
Hi all Looking for some advice, I have a B8 and have been looking to upgrade my front brakes/pads. On looking I have found a part number on disc, but its not the standard 365mm wavy version, its a 375mm round version from a B9 with the corresponding caliper, not the Brembo one. It has 2 pads per cal...

@noidea01 thanks for reply.
Any idea as to why they are fitted on a b8? Was there a crossover period? I have looked through all paperwork I have, and found nothing as to why these bigger discs were fitted!!
Guess the b9 are a straight fit?

Service advisor said one of the final drive oils had never been touched!! Oil came out like treacle!! Anyway, enquired about the discs/calipers I have fitted,...

Car is going in for a service on Friday so will ask why these are fitted. Had someone else check and came up with the same result. Disc's fitted...
