[Closed] "You'll need new discs and pads mate"

BlobOnAStick · 2010-02-04T16:03:11Z

Our car's done 50,000 miles. Should it need new discs? How badly worn is a disk that needs replacing? I can feel a step of about 1.5mm on the edge of the disc where the brake pads have worn away the braking surface, is this on the verge on needing replacement? Bah. Mechanics trying to generate recession-busting work or genuine requirement? I fear the former

"BX's spent most of their time broken anyway"

Very true, I had an 86 BX that was the most unreliable heap of junk I have ever owned (and I have had some real howlers in my time)

I thought that linking the braking and the suspension hydrolics together was a particularly fine idea, I have fond memories of driving along without any brakes or suspension after the system contents leaked onto the the M1, a combination of engine braking, leaving a qtr mile gap in front of me and handbrake got me home.
