I had some trouble (that's an understatement) getting the front disk retaining screws off. Make sure you have an impact driver. I had to get the grinder out.

Shouldn't be any need to reset anything. The bedding in procedure for the EPB pads is in the workshop manual. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

If nothing is seized or chewed up from previous hamfisted monkeys it should be very straight forward and obvious. Aprox 3 hours and you should be done.

Thanks for that tip, everything looks quite clean so hopefully nothing seized or bodged! My existing hubs were rusty so I painted rough areas. Do they all do this so should I paint before fitting new discs?

Avoid ECP and use site sponsor Advanced Factors. No contest.

I’ve just done discs pads and rear calipers. Discs from ECP - couldn’t find a better price for Brembo, genuine TRW calipers from Advanced Factors, great price and great service, pads from LR Parts - Ferodo and various fitting bits from Both ECP and Advanced Factors.

I have a 2009 3.6 TDV8 and I fitted “Brembo” discs and pads from ECP... worst thing I ever did! They are absolutely terrible and do not provide any confidence while braking

As said dont use ECP I am on my 3rd set of front discs from them and they are crap, use the site sponsors I got a complete kit for the wifes D3 and it is great. No issues what so ever.

Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience, I’m no fan of ECP but there is no doubt the discs I got are genuine Brembo and so far seem fine

My ‘Brembo’ pads were made by TWR I think. brembo allow others to make parts under license.

Better have a look round and see what deals are on, Delphi and Pagid seem to be recommended by most. Thanks again. 2009 Range Rover Vogue 3.6TDV8, Bournville, Parchment/Navy
