Brake Wear Warning on DIS

[gottanS]

This has just popped up on the DIS, does anyone know how many miles are left before metal on metal contact, car is booked in but not for a couple of weeks so wondering if it will be okay till then.

Nope, it'll need it before then with daily usage. You've probably got about 100 miles in them

[gottanS]

Phoned dealer to confirm and was told 1000 miles....

[xyber]

Motorway, town or hooning around B-roads....

[gottanS]

Well that didn't come up in the discussion but they would probably say motorway so am being very gentle on them till it goes in.

Well managed to get the car to the dealer for the 60k service and the front brakes got sorted along withe brake fluid change, 8 new coil packs via the re-call, new plugs, etc. They picked up and delivered it back and stung me for just over £1100, the front discs and pads were £450, brake fluid change £80 so service with plugs was around the £600.

£1100.......! Is your car under warranty? The stealers really like to stick one up their customers. Fecking rip off. Even £600 for the service is steep. Plugs 8x ~£80. Oil 10l ~£100. Oil and air filter ~£25. Over half the cost was for labour and trust me it does not take that long to change the aforementioned.
