Chaps,

Mrs Roadster25's Mini will be heading to the main dealer for a service next week, when I fully expect to be told it needs new brake discs all round. I also expect to be told the price will be £hundreds, which I do not want to pay, so intend to sort myself.

As it is, the pads all look good, and there are no warning lights. It is just the discs that look worrying. Obviously I will replace the pads too, but will I need to replace the wear sensors? It looks like a bit of a faff.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the advice chaps.

To be honest it isn't the cost, it just looks a bit of a faff and I am a lazy man. I should probably do the job properly anyhow.

On a related point, I'm assuming a Laser standard calliper rewinding tool will do the job for the rears, or is there some Mini specific oddity? Already ordered a jack pad, just in case.

Service tomorrow, so lets see what they say...
