Hi all,
Not been on here much due to workload (manic as usual) but about a month or so ago I had the car in to MB for a service and MoT, I was told the front pads wouldn't last another 10k to the next service so it would make sense to replace them.
Told them to just go ahead and was told the discs were fine.
Problem is, I hardly ever drive the car and it was sat outside the house for 3 weeks and when I went for a 50 mile round trip I came back and noticed some parts of the discs were back to looking clean however, there rings which were still rusty as if the pad wasn't touching that part (which was probably about 40%) of the disc!
The breaks feel fine, but aesthetically it doesn't look to good! Half shiny and half rusty rings!
I am getting the callipers removed and resprayed this month so wondering if the discs should be replaced when refitting or if I just need to do a few more miles for the pads to bed in?
Car will be towed from the bodyshop to a garage with STAR to bleed the breaks etc.
Tried a mix of light, moderate and very heavy breaking thus far (about 150 miles or so which is a lot for me in a month!).
Thanks in advance.
