My brakes sometimes make a noise. It only happens when there is medium sustained pressure. When it does it I can make it stop my applying more pressure or releasing some.
It’s annoying and garage say the pads and discs are fine.
I am considering just swapping out the front discs and pads anyway to rule it out.

How much can I expect to pay for this ?

Thanks

Are you able to do this yourself? Are you still "off the road" yourself, driving wise that is?

I can’t feel anything through the steering and I’m pretty sure it’s the front.

Ok. If there's no hurry, I'm sure we could get someone to drive it and you over here to do what needs to be done. We could save you a fair bit of money I'm sure.

Thanks Tony, that’s really kind of you.
I will be in touch, if that’s ok, as soon as I am in a position to get over your way.

Thank you
