clicking juddering brakes
Discussion
I had the same problem with my car without the clicking, I new that the discs were warped and made some enquiries thats when I found out they can be skimmed 90% of the time it's the front ones. They cost £130 to do which was a lot cheaper than replacing them.
If it's a smooth clicking could be the pads touching the discs each time they go round if it's a sharp click not sure.

The problem with skimming the discs is that there is a chance if they're warped badly enough that they'll wear unevenly and the juddering will come back - this happened to me.
I spent around £100 last summer to get them skimmed and 1500 miles later they were juddering again, got them replaced around Christmas and they have been fine ever since. The way I see it, I wasted £100.

I was told the opposite the guys I used said a lot of the time when new discs are fitted the juddering can come back but when skimmed it's usually a permanent fix. I'm not a mechanic so I don't know the answer by the sound of it the discs are pretty bad so I'd go for new ones.
I previously owned a car that had badly warped discs, fitted new ones six months later the problem came back all though I have to admit they were pattern parts.

eat tvr, now we've confused you!
Looks like one of those things that just ends up as a "suck it and see".
Thanks for your commets guys unfortunately the discs are too bad to be skimmed!!! Just ordered a new set of discs and pads..coming tomorrow from Tvr power. Excellent speedy service couldnt fault them. All in its set me back £360 so not too bad!! Ive learnt to expect the worse so anything less is a bonus.
