Alright Guys,
I've just noticed, much to my horror, that my ten month old rear near side brake disc has a large collection of massive scratches in it. I can only ***ume salt/grit from the recent cold spell has found its way in and cut some massive grooves into the disc. What are the implications of this? Is it drastic or can it wait a little while before sorting? Will it fail its MOT like it? Can this wait or do I need to hammer the credit card?!
Just for the record, I don't know for sure when this happened, I have not noticed any noises, but cast an eye over the car often enough to know it will have happened in the last couple of weeks (hardly driven it this week as have been off work with the flu). I don't know if the offending pieces of grit are still lodged in the brake or not. The other 3 wheels are fine.
Any help or suggestions appreciated as always guys. Thanks in advance.
Steve
