I have also been told (not by the mechanic) that, that could be a sign of wheel bearings going :(

I don't get how the engine size dictates whether you can warp the brakes or not :boggle:

You can get to 100+ in a 1.6 the same as you can in something bigger, you can also brake regularly and heat the brakes up the same as in something bigger.

The brakes will also be smaller than in something bigger, thinner metal etc.

I know what warped discs are, I just don't see how you know they won't be warped.

Firstly I would get your tracking done and wheels balanced. Then whip the disks off and get them cleaned up with a angle grinder and a attachment like:

i got bumper £93!! never going to that garage again

I payed about £20 for standard disks and pads from halfords with my trader car.

Fitted them myself.

Well it was £54.39 for the discs and pads (I thought was pretty good ;) ) and my mate said he could do them in about 1hr 15 mins

He said that apparently Vauxhalls are really bad for flipping the master cylinder or something :boggle: doesn't mean much to myself but he is a good grease monkey :thumbs:

not to bad although could easily be done yourself

have you upgrade to 256x24 otherwise reffered to as Mk3/Cav brakes that will make a difference

For complete standard Brake set (Discs and pads) + fitting good price?

I think I have the dreaded warped discs (shakey steering wheel from braking hard at highish speeds)

And hopefully this should sort it :o :look:

Knowing my luck it won't make fook all difference :|

That is all - have a nice day and enjoy the heat wave :!
