Bigjeeze Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 On my advisory sheet from last year and ive done 20k since then,nearside front brake hose slightly deteriorated offside " " " " " Nearside front anti roll bar rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excess movement offside " " " " " " " """""""" nearside rear " " " " " " offside rear " " " " """"""" Front brake discs WornSo thats 7 things do they need to be changed for mot in 30 days time????? Help Guys cheers Also how easy to do these In my experiecne they always seems to say there is slight deterioration to brake flexible pipes. Bushes on the ARB are quite easy to change. Front discs worn - Hmm if there was a problem then the brakes would have failed - That said they may be worn to the point of requiring replacement. Personally I would advise you to get the car MOT'd now see what it fails on (if anything) then fix those things -. Quote
seatkid Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Agreed, get the MOT done and replace the failed items only. Sounds like a standard set of items by garages touting for unnecessary work. Brake discs and pads have minimum thickness. From memory I think the minimum is 19mm or 21mm (disc) and 2mm (pad). The only sure way to check if brakes need changing is to take the wheels off, inspect and measure. Edited July 17, 2011 by seatkid Quote
