Williams and valver front discs the same?

[Sami]

I thought they are, aren't they?

 

[Djw John]

Yeah they are

 

[Sami]

Put a williams disc on the valver passenger side and had all manner of weird problems since, just wondered if they were compatabile!

 

[Djw John]

Yeha but you should always do your brakes in pairs. Did you not do the driverside?

The discs are exactly the same btw

 

[Sami]

Only reason I changed was because drivers side was cracked, the disc I put on had about the same wear as the other side so didn't think it would matter too much!

But now drivers side is making weird squeeking noises, a lot of the time when im not touching the break, and also the handbrake warning light goes on and off when im driving!

 

[dyp]

i might be wrong but the handbrake light is only activated by a switch inside the handbrake assembly

No its no, at lot of the time it comes on when brake fluid is low.

...and yes disks the same, 259 Vented, using the Lucas Girling brake set-up

 

[Sami]

Ok had a look at the brake fluid level but the bottle is pretty dirty, what level is it meant to be at? it was probs about 5/6cm down the plastic tube bit?

 

[Fred@BTM]

always always always change discs for NEW items in PAIRS

you're asking to die!

 

[Sami]

How come? Both discs are worn the same amount...

Anyone know about the brake fluid level, light is still flashin?

 

[G_F]

There is a min and max, hard to see, but fill it up...

They wont be worn exactly the same amount mate, Freds right..........this time

What he said!

 

[Sami]

Yeah I know I should replace both but its just a money issue at the moment!

How dangerous realistically is it to be running discs which aren't worn exactly the same, whats the effects etc.

So I fill the brake fluid level to the top of that tube bit? lol

 

[jamesy]

both 259mm

Cheers Wasn't too sure after the amount of problems I've been getting since changing them :S
