Well I knew the pads needed doing, but having been too tight with my money I think I have ruined the discs.

Sorry not the best picture, to me the bottom of the disc seems grinded out.

Discs are fine mate, the pad doesn't go all the way to the bottom.

I'm keeping my head down.... just a couple of rear bushes needed for the MOT in March.

It's awful in this snow, semi-slicks are useless.

You'll have to wander down to a WYIOC meet, if you aren't working all the time !

Really want to go to one of WYIOC meets, truth is I am always working:brickwal l(The joys of shifts!!!!)

Noticed a kerrrrrrrr noise coming from the disc`s when braking, in July when the car had its Mot the mechanic told me the front pads needed doing. Its probably metal to metal now. My own fault for not getting them done.

They are all standard disc`s and pads.
