Most of us already know Vauxhall prices for brake discs are high. Monkfish do them for much less.

Bloody hell, you may as well have a new set of AP's for £2060. That's racing brakes disc's, pads and shiny red calipers. If your thinking of getting any performance mods in the future you may as well pay for the best now
Back to the question of running costs, we had BMW and Porsche before the Monaro and other than fuel and road tax, the cost of servicing and parts is very reasonable.

If there are the same as a 2004 CV8 then I have a brand new set sitting in my garage. purchased from Oz but by the time they got here I was wearing AP's. soon to be a Rapid GB's.

2004 vxr has uprated brakes over the 04 cv8 model, somewhere between the 05 cv8 and the 06 vxr specs iirc
