   How much would it be to get a garage to change the break discs and pads, when i slow down at high speeds they make like a vibration kinda like a bumping,
   
   or just change the discs
   
   cheers

   It depends, if they are quiet they might drag it out if they charge by the hour, but id imagine, taking wheel off, changing old to new, bleeding and putting wheel back on, maybe 1.5/2.5 hours, 30 pounds an hour average
   
   45/75 with you supplying the stuff

   Search on here mate, its not hard to change pads and disks. Do it yourself and save being ripped off.

   anyways...
   
   remove the safety pin and springs
   
   
   
   
   slide that bit out of its socket
   
   
   
   push the piston back in as far as possible and remove pads
   
   
   
   remove bolts
   
   
   
   remove screws, tap on it with hammer if stuck, heat up with blow torch if stuck
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   at that point, don't forget to push your brake pedal a few times to put the piston back into position.
