Just been quoted 189 quid to replace my front pads on my 04 LCR at my local dealers ! Is there any discounts on here for standard LCR pads ?

I was quoted that figure from SEAT last week. Do what I did: Buy Ferrodo DS2500 pads from Bill (IbizaCupra/Badger5) which retail at 110 all in, VAT, p&p etc... Then fit them yourself or get a mate to fit 'em.

Roughly what I paid for mine at Patterson Seat Newcastle stealers a few weeks ago. If you can do it yourself and source the parts independantly it's always gonna be cheaper. Quite fankly I can't be arsed to do it / learn how to do it. I'm quite happy to pay good money for brakes and tyres.
The Ferrodos do not come with a wear sensor, no.
My pads were worn but the sensor didn't come on anyway.
There's a way round it. The sensor is on the left wheel, just cut the wire, tape it up and then join up, solder or use a paperclip on the other two wires.
Like I say my mate Ovni_Al did it so my knowledge is a bit sketchy, but there are guides on here. Use the search thingy...

They don;t work 50% of the time anyway because they are only on one side of the car......heard of plenty of cars with no pad one side and the light still not on.

Cheers for that , just order some from him. very good price....i also rung the place were he was getting the GB from (leda suspension) and they quoted me 68 quid . The guy there also said that cupranet got a top discount cause he thinks he or someone messed up on the prices (quoting euros instead of sterling) either way he said it was dirt cheap. The guy ( Matt ) also said the Galfer had increased the prices since the GB. So i will end up getting them for 70 quid fitted...beats 190 from stealers !
i have just paid £117 for pads and £61 for labour with %15 discount off that price today at stealers so that price is about right and i had a 30,000 mile services done at the same time it cost me £338 inc vat all in the pads cost more then the service lcr03 done 23,224 mls first change of pads

I get NVS to come out and fit OE pads to my LCR at my work. Its £140 ish for front pads. Call on 0870 850 6651.
IM not sure how far they cover - but the N in NVS stands for "national"
Im really impressed with thier proffesionalism and expertise so far and they are nice people to do business with.
My local dealer in berks charges £230 for front pads fitted so I always use NVS
