[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The discs were flagged up as an advisory at the last M.O.T about eight or nine months ago.

They've only covered 22,000 miles from new and are original, so I'm not sure if I should be pleased or pissed really. Car is 53 plate.

I've just treated myself to a bottle of 10 year old Laphroaig.......

Cheers all.

Has the 'loosening the brake pipes' worked already then 

There was this strange coloured fluid leaking everywhere but I took no notice.

Thats just old age mr opti , it a tenna lady moment  Oh well done on the brake service 

[ahodgie]

the discs look well gone
somtimes low miles and little use is worse than high miles and regular use

Good stuff, think anything after the Omega is dead easy

Looks who's talking, coffin dodger.

The rumbling from the front under braking has finally disappeared, and the old girl now stops on a sixpence.

Mr Opti-let them take the micky-sit back and smile at the fact YOU did the brake yourself-unaided and did it properly/safely--well done you mate-top of class

You mean a spotty 17 year old youth who has knuckles that drag on the floor when he walks.

The (to use TB's words) 'tards' gave me the wrong discs to begin with.
