Discs and pads

Different angle

And again

Did you get the "look of anazement" when you told the customer?

She must've been over the moon

I carried out the brake test first on this one but as soon as any pressure was put on the pedal the gauges and my foot started vibrating. I got enough readings to get to 50% and 16% and didn't push any more. I know in an ideal world brakes should be tested last but sometimes for operational reasons we do them first.

At least while doing the repairs I snuck a better look at all the brake pipes (so much easier with wheels and discs off) so had no fear of locking up on retest.

As a footnote, we returned the car back to the customer late Monday afternoon and she came back the next morning just to let us know that she now realised how bad her brakes used to feel.

They seem to adapt to the faults excessive, or they just completely ignore any warnings

Don't ya just luv em but I have worse stories about mine

To be honest, I haven't recycled the worst disc and pads - they're destined for our "Hall Of Fame" that we'll display in our waiting area with a brief note.
