Good luck never done it myself but you tube does do good instruction vids

they are easy to do....good luck with the caliper bolts but your car is fairly new so should be ok

Rears are more fiddly as you sometimes need to wind the handbrake shoe mechanism in before the old disc comes off.

Pump the brake pedal once all done before driving off

Make sure you spray brake cleaner on the discs before they go on.

Fronts all done, attack the rears tomorrow :-)

I have 2 performance friction discs and pads with 3/4 wear left and the rears to come off tomorrow if anyone is interested in buying - fronts 326mm and rear 316mm
