thank you for all your advice everyone. I'm going to Brands on Tuesday, its not that far about 15 miles away so theres not really any need to stay anywhere. I am changing my pads and hopefully disks too on Sunday to cover the extra pressure they will absorb.
changed them Saturday but made sure I did get them bedded in first, can't be doing that on the day. so took it out sunday and today around 200 miles should of done it :-)
Well it went really well yesterday and was very impressed with the capability of the car, even in the wet. I took as much as I needed, i.e. oil, tools, pump. Luckily I didn't need any of them. thank you all for your help
