A neighbour is a mechanic and has offered to replace both front discs and pads (they are in desperate need) however does �80 sound correct for this job?

It depends on what make car you have.  Some cars you can get both discs and pads for as little as �30 - �40, but on other cars you could spend �100s.

Then there is the labour of fitting them.  Some are really easy to fit but some you have to remove a hub which can be a real pain.  Some discs come with a paint over it as well and that has to be sanded off, again, time consuming.

if that includes parts i think that is very good. again yes it depends on the make, but if something is wrong it can be awkward when it's a neighbour!!
It certainly doesn't sound too expensive, the bits are likely to come to about �60 at least.
just had quote for 406@ �150 so �80 seems ok
