New brakes pads

Post by blue2 »

Does anyone no around how much it costs for new brake pads all round?. My garage is a bit reluctant to tell me and my local motorshop dont supply them. Also the coolant in my car is green, is it ok to add the premixed red coolant from halfords?
My car is a K reg 2ltr n/a
Cheers!!

Pads will cost you around £30 all round from Brakes Int (nothing fancy though).

I wouldn't mix coolants, I'd flush the whole lot and replace with red.

Any glycol based coolant will do just fine in all honesty. It is a myth that you have to use toyota longlife.
