as far as i'm concerned 'warped' discs are just pad deposits.

I've cured a few sets of warped discs with a flappy wheel on a grinder (very light clean up).

Think of the heat you'd need to buckle/warp cast iron discs..... alot more than a wee car would produce I think.

Steve is correct.

Saying that.... once the discs are 'cleaned up' they still have hot spots which will prob just cause the same to happen again.

No I didn't end up putting it in as had a few other things on for that day and couldn't get it down there.

Sold today, I would guess it'll pass without too much bother but I need the money for tomorrows purchase.

Think it's on the front legs? I was going to plate them up if I kept it, my white one had the same, that was fixable.
