   Hi all,
   
   I bought my first car last month and it so happens to be my boyhood dream: 2003 Saxo VTR.
   
   I'm now looking to buy some new brake pads and discs (they're squeaking).
   
   But, I'm looking for some help from you guys with experience in this field.
   
   Options:
   
   1: carparts4less - The whole Pagid set for £113
   2: carparts4less - Just the squeaky front set for £60
   3: eBay - The whole set for £63
   [ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-SA...item565f40136d ]
   4: Your recommendation - I just want a set that will stop me.

   If they're squeaking it could just need some copper gear behind the current pads or the pads could be shagged

   Forgot to mention the discs are warped too (just the front).

   I'd go pagid and also flush/replace the brake fluid.

   How much brake fluid would I need? A litre do it? I'll probably just buy the front set.
