Wee Jock Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Went to Newbury yesterday to Subaru 4U, to have some 4pots and new disks put on! Also had the laser alignment done along with new Mintex pads and nice shiney braided hoses. Len (The owner) supplied the pads and hoses, the total price for the work carried out was £234 inc vat! Breakdown of the bill is as follows: Brake fluid £3.78 Diamond Hose Kit £45 Labour to fit disks, calipers, hoses, pads (1 hr) £35 Geometry set up £35 all the above is plus vat! Len is an X Subaru mechanic, so he knows what he is doing! He doesnt rip you off, he is a sound bloke and I would recommend hime to anyone! Its a bit of a Trek from Canterbury but at those prices it is well worth it! Subaru 4U Unit 2A Faraday Rd Newbury Berks RG14 2AD 01635 35355

Wee Jock Posted August 13, 2005 Author Posted August 13, 2005 << wee jock, did you find out what the problem was when you went on long distances.? deano >> Deano, the prob was the passenger side caliper which was seized and was causing a build up of heat on the disk! New 4 pot calipers and shiney new disks solved the prob! Also the geometry on the wheels was well off, which caused the front tyres to wear on the inside! thanks for asking wee jock
