Picture didn't take, so no pictures ...
Mechanics saying the rear brakes aren't much fun as you have to be carefull with the rear caliper cylinders as they apparently have enough go in them to launch the cylinder straight through you if you aren't careful!
Also swapping the front tyres for the back tyres and getting a new set of front tyres. Back tyre is down to 2mm, so I might as well swap stuff around whilst its in.
Damage so far is: £400
£100 for new set of rear pads replaced with sensors, £300 for a set of tyres, have gone for the same make and model as OEM'd on the car. Goodyear EfficientGrip Y(104) 235/55 R18 - Probably could get a set cheaper somewhere, but I don't think it would be by much.
