Been advised by local vw garage as all pads 85% worn and discs lipped with signs of corrosion.any idea of suitable replacement and cost or do I stick with oem stuff?

Stick your reg number in GSF parts website, that will give you prices for all service items including brakes.

If this is from a main VW dealer then I suggest you be wary of the "disc edges starting to corrode" (or similar) message they add to your service invoice. The edges always corrode slightly (they're cast iron). What's important is the overall disc thickness. What they should do is tell you what this is relative to the manufacturer's limit. It now seems to be a common ploy with VW dealers to encourage you to (over)pay them to change a component which is still well within it's designed limits. I suppose it's easy to frighten the unsuspecting customer by mentioning brakes and corrosion in the same sentence.
