Hang on, you can't use patterned brake parts on a VW Golf?

I'd really suggest you find a garage with some reputation, that's two you've had now...

The only way a car could need 5 sets of discs and pads in a year is if you were doing a track day every weekend!  :grin:

I can't believe you've paid out for 5 sets without questioning the garages abilities to diagnose or at the very least the parts they are using!

Buy cheap, buy twice!! :whistle:

Surely that's buy cheap, buy 5 times?  :whistle:

I wonder what brand of discs/pads were being fitted?

That was my thought, I'd have been asking questions after 1 set not 5.

How long have Cadburys been doing brake (:embarrassed:) discs?!?!? :grin:

Out of curiosity have you been paying for all the replacements at full whack too? :shocked:
