I've bought front and rear pagid discs and breaks (cheap and cheerful as I might be putting another axle on with better brakes next year). I've also bought corteco hub seals. A friend of the family is going to fit them as the garage phoned with a quote this aft and it was more than my wallet weighs. Anyway, I'm sure the garage said the price included drums, but when I spoke to europarts, they said you either have discs or drums (not both). Is that right?

Or just shoes for the back if the drums are still good.

Yes , but there is potential for things to go wrong.
1 set of pads
1 set of shoes
Pair of discs
Pair of drums
4 seals.
If you ordered for example 4 X pads online you could possibly end up with 16 pads.
Cheers. Thanks for that.
No I'm going into the trade counter. It's nice to come across as someone who knows what they're talking about. I told them that I was starting as an enthusiast and that I'd be buying quite a bit over the next ten years, so I got a trade account.

Don't forget gaskets/silicon for the hub.

I think I mentioned in another post. In 2017 it failed on badly leaking rear hubs. Then it passed, then passed again a few weeks ago. However, my garage did an appraisal last week. He did give me a tour underneath. I think it's something to do with the hub seals being really perished, and they've been leaking for ages, but I don't know much more. I ended up just nodding my head, alternating between random vertical nods and horizontal nods, hoping the yes and no nods matched what he was saying, and the drawings in pencil he was doing. Said friend of family will sort it out. I just want all possible parts that could possibly be needed, in the boot waiting, cos any not used will be restocked and refunded.
cheers

Worth checking the oil filter and oil pressure switch in the engine bay, in piccy 2 it looks like you’ve got a nice leak from that area?
Scratch that! Too early in the morning for looking at photos and making sense of them! Leak is further forward than aforementioned areas, look elsewhere!

Cheers for that. The garage wasn't sure about where the second leak is. There is one on the sump so i'm getting that resealed with sealant.

Just edited my post to say probably not those areas after all!
