Brake discs are generally replaced in pairs and cost on average around £75 each, fully fitted, but can cost from as little as £30.

What happens when you press the brake pedal?

When the brake pedal is pressed it forces brake fluid through the system which causes the brake pads to press against the brake discs and slow the vehicle down. The master cylinder converts the force (when you press the brake pedal) into hydraulic pressure, which in turn pushes brake fluid, through brake hoses to the brake caliper.
