Can anyone tell me the minimum service limit on the discs front and rear.

I knew my rear pads were low but the warning light came on the dashboard today so i checked the pads, found they were rubbing on the rivet that holds the spring on, looked at the rotor and it seemed heavily lipped. Measured the thicness and it was 8.2mm

I'll be getting new pads on tuesday just not sure if i need the discs or just get the lip removed.

Cheers

if its 'heavily ' lipped, then it needs replacing.
having now checked on auto data, your discs were due to be changed .8 mm ago.

Cheers for the reply

Wonder why it wasn't noticed when it was being serviced.

do the pistons on both rear calipers turn the same way?
