i know... i had an arguement with the prat doing my MOT. He said i had failed on my rear brakes, and said i must have had seized calipers.

I asked him to check the exact model of my car on his register and double check what the coefficient of friction between the rollers and the wheels should be... and he refused.

went to the boss and said his MOT tester was a r****d... who checked it, and passed my MOT lol

got an apology too .... which was nice

That's what I thought, but with the pads out both calipers moved freely. Any other thoughts why one might wear like that?

I posted a thread to prompt discussion on brake pad wear, and you posted a picture of Saddam Hussein in a noose right before he was hung to death.

A bit inappropriate and completely off topic don't you think :S

92,681 of the hardest miles that I've ever known a car do, any idea how many track days/airfields etc you've actually done?!

 

[MarkCup]

No idea Chris.

Somewhere approaching 40 if you factor in all the Airfield/Haynes sprints we've done as well.

As from next Saturday it's officially retired and will live out the rest of its days almost permanently on track. I wonder how much longer it'll last LOL
