I've been getting vibration/juddering when braking for a few months now. Ordered Pagid discs and pads for the front yesterday. Hopefully it'll cure it but may need Calipers as you suggest.Jonny essex wrote: Do you feel vibration through your wheel? I bet you your calipper is buggered

Not really seeing any more Brake Dust. Only get the juddering on Braking so gonna try discs and pads first. Will also check caliper operation when I install the bits.Jonny essex wrote: The calipper seizing is quite common on the front brakes just like the springs brakeing .... if your new discs and pads do nothing then get both calippers carriers replaced asap, do you see ALOT more brake dust and grud on ur wheels then usual jimbo?
If not this then maybe a trip to the Stealers but hoping this will cure.

Turns out the pad at the back of my disc is down to metal. Oops.

Haha nope brake sensors never made an appearance, guess there broken or absent? Only had the car 2 month, I knew it needed new discs but pads seemed fine. But it's the pad at the back of the disc that I couldn't see which has worn down to metal, my spirited drive finished it off I think.
Already ordered new discs and pads anyway so it can damage the disc, doesn't matter
