Default £260 pads :(

OK, so my car is in at dealer (as it's still under warranty) trying to get this leak sorted out still. I also had a squeaky front right brake and a slow puncture on the rear left.

I know it was a bit cheeky to ask them to have a look at the puncture.

To be honest, if I would have bought it without a warranty, then I would have been doing all this myself. I had a look at the brake, and there is a tiny piece of metal touching the disc (not sure what it's called but I'm sure you all know what I mean).

Anyway, I just got a phone from the garage saying that they've sealed (again) around the lights, couldn't find and leak on the wheel, and the squeaking is because pads are low and I need new ones. £260!!!! Now I know there is a little bit extra there because its main dealer, but still, £260 for front pads, when I've not even done 2000 miles in it yet? Just doesn't sound right to me.

So I thought I would see what you guys thought, and what sort of price/options I have available. I did see on a thread something about 02/03 crossover cars having very varying pads setup.

Thanks guys
