Am I unlucky or lucky to be here?

Had some vibration from the rear of the car and then pulses on the foot brake. This has been going on for a while now. It's not the front as new discs and pads so went to have the rear discs skimmed this morning. Found the fault...........N/S rear disc is cracked.

See pic's



9 of the center fins are cracked and you can squeeze the disc together between thumb and finger!
Scary part is that it was like this at VMAX
New ones being fitted Tuesday.

Dave,

That really should be picked up on the Servicing.

Have you had words?
