monsween Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Well my friend olley changed the brake discs on the Hilux over the weekend and it did not stop in the slightest. I knew it was bad and haven't drove the thing in weeks/months until it got fixed. Well this is what he found on the passengers side front disc. I was practically speechless. (Oh and the pads were just as bad.) Now it stops better because race car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Holy crap, that's terrible! How can it have passed the last MOT with the disks as bad as they would have been at that time?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Looks like it just gave way and broke into a million pieces. The brakes were bad on it but not downright dangerous until the calliper gave up the ghost a few weeks ago and i stopped driving it then so as i could get it fixed.
