Whoops.

[Gem]

Do not be a tit like me and let your brake discs do more miles than they should.

This is what happens....

Really annoyed at myself for letting the rear brakes get in that state, but hey ho, sorted now. Time was my enemy. My only feeble excuse. No lectures needed, I've given myself one. :dapprove:

 

[Chrisjk]

You've reminded me that mine are shot

 

[Coby.]

Checking mine next week as I have a feeling mine are getting quite low

 

[Gem]

For god's sake get them done...don't be a prat and put it off like me

 

[mini-valver]

*Smug*

*Smug*

Get back in you're box Hudson.


(But you were right, as much as I hate to admit it...you spotted it before they'd even worn...)

[Gem]

Haha, Dan, I've done quite a lot of that recently....

Even SHOCK HORROR....giving advice!!!!

 

[Ali]

^ LOL

Milegae doesn't have a huge ammount to do with it...(Doesn't help) but the disks can break after 20k!

 

[Gem]

Aye these had done about 25k


Apparently very common with the rear discs. It's going into the garage for a service and track rod end in the next week or so too. Deserves a bit of time spend on her. :S

 

[SC03OTT]

I got told to replace my fronts back in November. Still have not done anything about it.

 

[AK]

You've reminded me that mine are shot

+1 LOL

poor show tbh :rasp:

 

[Rob Clark]

meh ! 60 k original rear discs and only 2nd set of pads. do a lot of heavy braking in reverse do we

 

[Gem]

We actually don't Wolf....I drive like a granny apparently

 

[Duck]

Get back in you're box Hudson.


(But you were right, as much as I hate to admit it...you spotted it before they'd even worn...)

No. Get back in your box.

 

[Gem]

Oh dammit!

I hate this place lately. Full of Grammar Police.

 

[Ralphizzle]

Ha!

I'm about to replace my rear rotors too... these are getting to thin.

About the grammar?
I'm from Holland, so at least i've got a excuse!

 

[Dave Hester]

nice crack!!

 

[Duck]

Oh dammit!

I hate this place lately. Full of Grammar Police.

Apologies, I just can't let it slip... I did allow you one other mistake... spend instead of spent.

 

[Sean.]

blimey...how did it affect the breaking?

 

[Ash87]

just changed mine last week as they were gettin bad

 

[Duck]

blimey...how did it affect the breaking?

Breaking being the appropriate word here

 

[Gem]

Juddered like a......well..............mother clucker.

 

[Speedlover]

Mine are low, got a bit of a "Leslie Ash" lip on the front, rears are gettin that way too.

Mine sometimes clunks when releasing the brake pedal, could this be the pads sticking on the disc lippage?

 

[Turkish]

How many miles? Mines done 46k odd now and not had so much as a set of pads replaced. Using brakes is for faggots!

 

[Speedlover]

If you meant me Turkish, 44k. Thinking KTEC Track discs n FRODO ds5679800 (or whatever) pads

 

[Turkish]

Meant Gem or just in general how long people are getting out of discs and pads.

 

[Speedlover]

Whats wrong eith talking to me eh eh eh lol, IIRC hers went about 25k. Maybe wrong though....

 

[Gem]

Aye, 25-30K mine went at.

They were POO though, and had been on since I bought the car.

 

[swell]

good effort...

 

[clio_luke]

my rear discs were cracked in 3 places and still within the minimum thickness. i replaced them straight away, could be very dangerous.
