Thanks - that is really helpful.

I don't mind the repairer making a reasonable margin on the parts he fits but that seems excessive.

Someone said there were patterns available....

You can save on the rears as they are the same on both engined cars.

Sorry...could someone confirm that Eurospares now do a 4.7 GTS Pattern Discs, front and rear?

If they do they are not listing them

4.7 rear brakes are as 4.2 so it's just the front you need to ask about.

Price has come down in the last few months. I had to buy OEM ones for my 4.7 and even with the Meridien Ross discount they came in just shy over £1K for both the front discs.

That seems about right. 5-600 quid each is what they were when I last looked.

Looking around for OEM discs the best price I found was Sucd car parts Egham. They will only supply OEM so if you want FD pads Larni are the UK distributor.

I would buy the parts at Eurospares and have a local mechanic fit them. Check Eurospares offer section as they have discs in there now for £119/£129 each and pads at £105 a set so all in with VAT its £1095. They sell them as a Kit but are cheaper individual.

The only trick piece is the Electronic Parking Brake which needs to be setup at a dealer.

Grimaldi's are literally next door to Eurospares, in Halstead. They are now fitting the pattern discs and some non-OEM pads that they recommended instead of the Eurospares ones.

Can't wait to get the car back!!

I'll be doing my own brakes ...Its the one job I know I can do . Doesn't negate the price of parts tho ..actually of those quotes the labour sounded reasonable even by ford dealer standards.
