Brakes were making a little noise at higher speeds, outside of discs looked okay but as they had a lip around the edge decided to replace them anyway. Pulled the old ones off and this is what I found

. A quarter of one pad is missing and half another has vanished, susprisingly the brakes were still working quite well.


they look fine, I'm sure you could have got a few thousand iles out of them yet :) well, considering you are a lucky bugger, what about doing the lotto this weekend and then giving mea fair share of the 55 mill you should be winning?

LMAO !

I remember my first 405, developed a brake squeak. When the pads were eventually changed, the friction material had *all* worn away from some of the pads - the backing plate was just pressing directly onto the disc. Funnily enough, I too noticed no loss of braking power - they were still working just fine :)
