I ordered a set of 3G 20 grooved discs last week. The ones currently on the car were worn & very warped. I havn't driven the car in the last 4 weeks due to all the ice so no problem.

This morning I spent 2 hours getting all my tools out, car jacked up, wheels and calipers off.

I opened the box of Discs and crazy grr rolleyes

I have 3 grooved sides and 1 ungrooved side!!!!

So car is now parked up and packed away until next year frown

The manufacturer is very sorry, apparently this has never happened before and is closed until next year.

grr

Maybe it was one of these new '1 groove' discs... the whole surface is one big groove.

Let's play a game of spot the difference. I have taken pictures just in case of a dispute later.

Finally the replacement discs were delivered this week.
Today the car got treated to 3G 20 grooves love

It is the first time I have driven the car since late November (apart from driving to Joe's and back for work)

After "bedding in" the discs on the yellow pads, I thought the car was on fire - smoke was billowing out of the wheel arches laugh

Now all I have left to do is:
New turbo
FMIC
Blueflame Exhaust
Welding
Painting
Re-map
