MOT results!

They have advised me on changing the passenger brake disc, and the front brake pads approx 10% worn

Stupid question, but does that mean they have been 10% worn, so have about 90% left on the pads. Or does it mean 90% worn,with only 10% left on the pad.

They recommend new disc pads with new discs.

Been looking about online, and can anyone confirm... that on a 2005, 1.2, Clio, Extreme 4, the BRAKE DISCS are 260MM diameter? Cuz some websites are saying different diameters :S. I don't want to end up buying the wrong size!

Also anyone recommend a good website? I have bought from http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ in the past. Well I bought from Brake pads, but nothing else.

go measure disk to confirm :S

Well that would mean jacking the car up, taking the wheel off, and measuring.

Quite nippy outside, so thought I would ask the question...

Pretty sure you'd need to change both discs not just the one, and just go look at the pads.

^^as said change them both. just have a look at the pads you don't even need to jack the car up. get all the stuff from gsf then

Ring up the supplier who you want the discs off and tell them your reg number.

Yes I would change both front brake discs anyway...

BUT:

...and the front brake pads approx 10% worn

Stupid question, but does that mean they have been 10% worn, so have about 90% left on the pads. Or does it mean 90% worn,with only 10% left on the pad.
