Hi,
Does anyone have any figures for brake disc thickness on a '99 Mondeo?
I had a 'strong warning' at 30,000 miles on an MOT at the main dealer, of the "N/S Front Disc getting thin". I was surprised at this mileage, and measured between the disc faces with a micrometer.
The width was 0.962".
A couple of months later I took the car in for the repair, first verifying at the service desk that this report had been made, but the desk man could not quote a figure. They replaced both discs and pads, but when I measured the width again a few weeks later I got
0.950", 12 thou less than before I took the car in for repair!It was only when I checked the MOT report again that I realised that it related to the NEARSIDE disc, and I had measured the offside in each case.
Nevertheless, it seems odd that the offside disc is less than the disc it replaced!
Is anyone in the know about the expected figure between disc faces, or who has any comment other than my asking a few awkward questions of the dealership?
