Tipex Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 The disc has lost It's surface, those are cooling vanes inside a vented disc! I've seen it before, once, and it was down to a faulty disc, but it would also be possible to do it by never changing the discs, and just sticking new pads in repeatedly, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patently Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Tipex is right That alone is more shocking than the condition of the disc Odd the other side has not gone Fault in the calliper on that side, leaving the pad on that side sticking on?? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Christ, I thought this was a car forum It's a fairly common trait with floating calipers, the outer-side of the disc experiences greater tangential wear due to the single-sided piston design.

jamieg Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 wow - never seen a "disc" like that before. Aside from the noise I bet it's one cool surface very quickly after breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
