Where are you mate?

As Altransit says, get him to have a look at the condition of the "fins" inside the disc

Sounds like a bargain to me :D

When I said that, I had assumed that they had actually fixed it :shock:
If the brakes aren't working, take it back and read them the riot act :evil: Faulty brakes just aren't acceptable!
:idea: Get them to check that the front discs are in good condition and the vent fins aren't rusty


Don't worry about spending money on it. Just heard from a friend that someone in our region recently was the victim of an idustrial accident. A farm labourer was killed when they got caught in a PTO because the plastic 50 pound cover was missing. Is some money spent on safety for the brakes worth 150,000 fine and a subsequent suicide. I think not. Spend the money with somene who can do the job properly and be safe (You and the public). Money can be earn't back, memories can't.
