Title: They still worked though!

This is the inside of one of the rear discs on my disco, the only problem I felt was a slight oscillation through the brake pedal.

 :shock:

Also the calipre was shot on that piston, the rubber hanging out, but got a spare for that one. Hoping the other side is in better condition [-o<

I occasionally get that oscillation on mine too  :shock:

You would normally put it down to a warped disc, like I did, knowing that there were new discs on the front I knew it must be the rears, as a bearing was getting slack I knew I had to rip the thing apart anyway. Got to see what the nearside is like today, after finishing this one off

Common on a Disco to see rear discs like that :cry: You'd expect to see the caliper pistons seized but mind were free  :shock:

Finished the job today, the other one was not much better, the caliper is usuable but will need another before summer, will see if I can re do the other one that was bad, seals and pistons hopefully, the last time I tried it was beyond repair, this one is in better condition

btw, while up at paddocks they are also doig brake discs from £6.00+vat, Worth having a set in spare, especially with the use a lot of us give the motors :wink:
