I put factor disks and pads on my Laguna and after a couple of K they were out of round and juddering like mad. No wear on them whatsoever but you either stump up and change them again or grin and bear it. Or sell the car and buy and Omega :y

I'm running on Brake engineering discs and ferodo pads.  No better or worse than VX.  The only reason I am using them is that I did not have a Trade club card at the time.  If I were you I'd go for VX

Hi, the last full set of disc/pads i got from here http:// http://www.brakesint.co.uk/ located Bolton/Rochdale, very good quality and value.

I bought front discs from them (Rochdale) years ago for my 12v Senator (in those dark days before ABS had Trade Club use) and they lasted about 3/4000 miles. When I complained I was told that I'd fitted then incorrectly & weren't interested in the slightest  >:( Needless to say I haven't been back.

They must have changed suppliers since them dark days. I did over 70,000 miles on the last discs i got from them before i sold the car no problems at all, and no i dont work for them.
