Branners Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Anybody else had trouble getting UK spec disks from Toyota? My car went in to an independent garage to have the front brakes changed this morning but they have said they cannot get the disks until the 23rd May. Anybody got any quicker way of getting them? My car will survive on what it has, it was more a slight warp on the disk as opposed to them being worn out, but it was a surprise to find they couldnt get the disks quickly.

Dnk Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Are there no engineering shops nearby to your garage, get them ground for around £10 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 If the rear disks are the same I might have a new set sitting in the garage unused. Can take for you in Thursday/Friday JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I've just ordered a front pair from an ebay shop with a decent enough rep, about £110 delivered. I'll let you know if I get cardboard fake ones, but they did provide the correct part numbers and sell separate left and right hand ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I called my Toyota today for front discs and they will be here Wednesday all in for £92 so no problems with my Toyota and yes UK spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Must be Toyota St Albans being crap. I went in there the other day to ask for a quote and the lady said 'its a fixed price, let me just see how much' as she looked at the poster on the wall listing their old people's cars. I said it wont be on the list, its a Supra, she said S U P R A and wandered away to find a parts chap. 10 minutes later they came back and said they were struggling to find the right part and would need the car to measure the disk size!! They then came back at £360 all in for new disks, pads and fitting. I got back in the best Toyota they ever built and I left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Interested in this as I am getting slight vibration at high speeds. I am also getting a slight vibration through the pedal during hard breaking. Would the disc being slightly warped affect the steering vibration? Had the wheels balanced before DB and they were straight. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Can you get hold of a DTI clock and then check the discs on the car, warped discs could cause steering vibes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yes Snake they are the right numbers, two separate ones because they are handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks bob, just wanted to make sure they were the uk spec brake disc part numbers . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the discs today they have a slight lip on them so maybe time to change anyway. It's only at about 75 - 80 that it starts becoming an issue but never gets better unlike it does with wheel balance being out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvard pal this is what was happening to me braking Hardish after 80 would shake my steering wheel ad shudder the front end as soon as I replaced the front discs it has not completely gone . Smooth braking love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I received and and fitted mine, they were pukka Toyota parts in the box and everything. Fixed my uneven disk issue which was very pronounced at higher speeds by now. Also while the wheels were off, I bled all four corners using the vacuum brake bleeder tool I think DnK put me on to. I just can't recommend this thing highly enough. I went from slack pedal takeup and wooden feel to no slack and lovely squidgy progressive brakes first go with minimal effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
