Hi,

Friendly MOT tester noted that the front discs were nearing the wear limit back in September, thought it's time I did something about it.

They look OK to me, but I'll measure them to see whether they need doing urgently or when I get around to it.

Any one know how thick they're supposed to be?

Cheers,

Andy

Hmm.

Can't see any noticable grooving and they both measure 0.9" (about 22.9mm) which I think is probably more than 5mm each side. I'll get the whels off and have a good look sometime, but it's probably OK for a while yet then.

Can't help wonder where non specialist MOT testers get the minimum thickness dimensions from!

It's going in for a service in a few weeks and I don't want the "the front discs needed doing, here's a huge bill for something you could easily do yourself" scenario!

Cheers,

Andy
