Missing bits on brake disc

[icestorm81]

Last night i went for a drive in my car and since my ds2500 pads are nicely bedded in, i did a lot of hard braking to try them out, got to a point where the brakes were smoking, so i went to the nearest garage and took a look. On the passanger left side i saw this in the brake disc, picture down below-

Has anyone come across this before, as the garage where i got the car serviced 2 months ago said the brake dics's are good for another 8,000 miles. Im a bit concerned about going back out in the car until i find out what it is

i find out what it is

They are discs fit for the bin mate.

I wouldn't use them either. New discs time, at least you can get a nice new set to go with the pads

just think about it a second, it isn;t exactly going to get any better is it ?

Are EBCs turbo groove brake discs anygood as i have found some on POTN.COM. The diametre of the disc is 323mm, which i think is the right size. Total cost comes to £198.96 which includes free next day delivery

Looks like an inclusion in the casting.
Bin before you wreck your pads.
A garage would never be able to see this, you need an x-ray to find these

Did you buy the discs?
If so might be worth going back to the vendor or contacting the manufacturer for some sort of recompense?

 

[icestorm81]

No i didnt, the disc's were brand new when i bought the car nearly 2 years ago. The lip on the disc is only just over 1mm. So there must of been a fault in the manufacture of that disc as the drivers one is fine. Im now going to replace the front disc's as soon as possible, as everyone knows having working brakes is more important than anything else

while ya there check the calipers slider etc, as that will cause uneven wear also

I dont think there is a slider on the brembo's.

The lip on the disc is only just over 1mm.

so the disks are BELOW the minimum wear thickness then. (26mm thin, 1mm/side)

get some new disks fella
