Rear discs on a 182

[Daz_25]

My car is in having its 24k service and the garage say the rear discs need replacing. But they have mentioned that its only half of one disc that is worn. Is there any reason this would be the case, would I be wasting my time pushing for it warranty saying the pads and one disc are perfectly fine. Should they not wear at an even rate. Also nearly died when they quoted me £370 just for the discs and thats without fitting. Advice would be appreciated.

£165 for discs AND pads from us

sounds like you may have a sticky slider

would that be a warranty issue fred or will i just have to bite the bullet and change the discs? do you have the discs in stock?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah we have the discs in, they're genuine renault items too

you could try warranty first though, but they'll blame wear and tear no doubt

thanks for the info, i'll be back for some discs if renault come out with their usual rubbish.

Just been on the phone to renault, turns out they didnt fit the pads correctly when I had them replaced last, which has caused the disc to wear. The good news is that they are going to replace them free of charge. Not at all happy that they sent my car out with deffective breaks though and very surprised they admitted to it.
