Conclusion
The rear disks and pads have been replaced today. I bought the parts from MB at 20% discount and asked my local tyre depot to fit. Took an hour and cost £45+VAT. this worked out at less than half the dealer cost and £60 cheaper than the indy quoted. (must phone the indy first thing monday and apologise for not giving him my business on this occassion, but will assure him I will be using him in future)
The brake vibration has gone and the car is running smoothly so the disks were the culprit after all
There is a negligible steering vibration now after the front left needed another rebalance but this is so slight now I would say I am being too fussy.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback and comments
To say I am happy would be an understatement :bannana: ( I do find the bannana smilie annoying but at the moment is just so appropriate)
