   For the second part, your brake pedals might be going low because ur brake pads are too low.

   You could probably pick up a VTR/S 106gti disk set up fro 100-150 mate, your mate could fit it? Other than that go to a garage get a quote for the parts and fitting etc

   i guess a garage would be the obvious solotion but would it be worth picking up second hand drums and parts from a scrappy or would i have to get parts from citroen dealership?

   Could use either upto really mate, if you get them from a scrappy then get your mate to fit will cost you shit all. Involve citroen and its going to sting

   Just be weary to what you are picking and have a good look, you don't want to buy a drum and find when you put it on something is lose or missing on it but yeah scrappy and someone to fit it should be the cheapest option by far.
