Remember to get a new wear sensor as well as you will need to replace and fit that, and then get an independent to reset the brake service indicator to 100% otherwise the car will show a red "service now" icon. Also make sure that the piston seal on the caliper is still intact and in good working order. When was the last brake fluid change done on your car? If it's around two years ago, you'll need to do that too. Castrol Super Response Dot 4 is around £10 per litre from Opie Oils - you'll need three bottles.
