Yeah it looks like the lip on the rusty backing plate was too tight up again at the rim of the new disc when the screws were done up, simple solution was to remove the rusted plate and problem disappears.

Got ir sorted today, removed the splashguards, they basically fell off, only used the grinder to tidy up the old weld points. Fitted the new discs and pads and managed to adjust the handbrake all good. Very strange having to drive along at 30 mph with your handbrake on! Handbrake fully on now...

Pull the parking brake lever 88 N (9 kgf, 19.8 lbf) of force while driving the vehicle for 400 m (1/4 mile). Drive the vehicle for 400 m (1/4 mile) at 50 km/h (31 mph). Stop the vehicle and release the parking brake for 5−10 minutes to allow the brake disc/drum to cool. Repeat steps 4...

Will measure them compared to what I took off. I wonder if removing the splash guard would help? I read somewhere that OEM discs have a lip that a rim on the splash guard fits into, my guards are rotten and adding to the noise so I think they will have to go.

Another thought occured that given I am using the original grub screws which I believe are OEM, could the new discs be slightly thinner, making the grubs too long? Would this even make any difference? Cheers

Yes I have taken the drum adjuster both ways to make sure I knew which was which, it is now fully adjusted in so in theory should be no where near the disc unless I heavily adjusted the handbrake end. The discs spin freely u til I put the grubs in and tighten up. My next move is to adjust the...

Evening Gents, Hopefully you can give me some inspiration please! Having just had rear droplinks and ARB's replaced I noticed that the rear discs and pads were overdue replacement. I have ordered Pagid discs and pads. Having tried to fit them today, it apparent that the pad backings are very...
