Problem, Either warped disc or sticking caliper
right, if i write what happens, what would you conclude;
-alot hotter right front wheel than any other
-vibrations at 85mph+
-after higher speeds vibrations when braking and general driving
-drivers disc a different colour, ( very light purpleish )
-smell of hot brakes
discs are only about 4k old, they are ebc plain discs if that helps.
if it is the right front that is warped as they are vertually new could you just get another front right or would you change the pair?

forgot to mention have swapped wheels from front to fear and visa versa to check if wheel s slightly unbalanced and no difference. plus not really noticable at low speeds

sounds like you have a right caliper sticking/seized and that in turn has most likely "warped" the disc.............
you'd be better off with a pair and o/haul both calipers
