I thought the brakes were making a funny noise on the way back from Norfolk...

They sounded like metal to metal when I finally pulled onto my drive which was odd as I'd looked at the pads/discs a couple of days earlier and knew they were all good. it was dark and snowing so I left it for the night.

I checked again the following morning an the NSF disc had developed a deep score about 2-3mm across and the same deep just about a cm above the hub

ordered from EBAY, the new discs & pads arrived this am....this is a Mintex branded kit which are STD solid vented discs. Before anyone scoffs, 90% of my driving is on the motorway and I tend to cruise rather than race, so I reckon they'll be ok for my needs.....

...and If I'm wrong, it's only cost a £100 so no major loss.

Off to the garage to fit...I'll let you know how I get on

Whilst I on EBAY, I bought a new battery for the coupe....I'd already fitted a new battery last month which was a STD Bosch which I've transferred to the Porsche.....I managed to pick up a Bosch silver with 5 years warranty for £65.....last time I bought one from halfords it was over a £100 so an absolute bargain

Can you come and sort my brakes out please?

There you are,

Done

Thanks!

Hmm, mine were also making a similar noise after my last track day, but there's still life in the pads.

Can't see it for snow right now, something to add to the new year checklist

It's the grove cut into the disc that caught my attention...that definitely wasn't there when I last checked!

How about this as a present on sale in the fiat clearance section of their website.
Coupe present

hmmmmmmmm Now where have I seen that before

errmmm...I've already got one of those

Trapped a stone, likely.

Stone was long gone ...looks like the po fitted new pads to used discs

All back together now and the brakes are great...well they were for the first 10 miles and then the dreaded screeching brakes returned

Try them in a seven-hour traffic jam...

I think I'll just turn the radio up
