As the the title reads, I have an edition 30 that needs the rear pads and discs changing. How easy is this to do? Thanks

Fairly straightforward as long as you have a caliper wind back tool.

As above said but read these comments here http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4469604-MKV-Rear-Brake-Caliper-Carrier-Bolts-Question
because you'll need to remove the carrier bolts and you can hit problems without the correct tooling and vehicle high enough for a breaker bar for the tripple square bolts.
