    Finally got around to looking at the brakes after much travelling abroad on business. It was a case of having to in the end. I knew the front discs were warped but on a short trip to the local newsagents the brake pedal felt very strange and there was a metallic clunking when driving along.

    Very fortunate it was only a trip to the local shop as I discovered something I have never seen before. One of the discs had become two!!

    The vented disc had rusted through all of the vents and the two metal discs parted company with each other. In all my years of driving and changing brake discs I have never seen this before. The discs were not badly worn either will hardly a lip around the edge at all. Anyone else seen this before?

    The outer disc was still held in place by the hub of course but the inner one was floating free. Not sure how long the discs had been on the car in two years of ownership I have not changed them.

    Anyway all is good now and I am just thankful it didn't happen on the motorway.

    Yes I have seen this before on a Volvo and even a disc so worn that it had exposed the vented fins. Regards Peter
