Just got a similar quote from dealer, 450+tax....
I love the car but these moments make me think it was a mistake to keep it after the warranty expiration.

Has anyone done the change themselves? I've changed discs and pads on my MX-5 before, but the dealer insists that I need to take it to them so that it can be connected to their diagnostics machine to tell the e-brake to release the pads.
Surely I just chock the wheels, or jack the whole thing up, and manually release the brake from in the car?
As for the service light, I've seen video's on how to access the reset menu, I assume as long as I change the wear sensor before I reset it then it will be fine?
Any help much appreciated.
