>Fails your MOT despite braking functionality being perfectly fine, costing you either a moderate amount of money + days worth of labor in the driveway, or just lots of money if you're a wrenchlet (integrated wheel bearings)How do you respond without sounding mad?New disks, regardless of whether premium coated ones or not, are gonna look exactly the same way in <4 years when you live somewhere with salty winter roads btw
>>29004561Bruv we haven't had a winter in yonks
>>29004561You got a little more than just surface rust going on with those rotors. Looks like the pads aren't contacting properly. I'd say spend the $40 on pads and rotors but the wheel bearings kinda complicate things. Maybe don't buy a Ford next time.
>>29004561retard. your pins are seized cause your boots are leaking and letting water in.>(integrated wheel bearings)so dont the new rotors come with new wheel bearings?you're gonna need entirely new brake calipers and bracket, unless you can still save the pins.
>>29004561I have drum brakes all around, suck it motfags.That being said, I've never been failed for worn disks.
>>29004584>spend the $40 on pads and rotorsTry $240 for coated Zimmermanns (wheel bearings included) and TRW DTEC COTEC pads. That's the online sale price.>>29004586>pins are seizedNope>boots are leakingNope>dont the new rotors come with new wheel bearings?Sure, but it means they cost a pretty penny>you're gonna need entirely new brake calipersWhat does calipers have to do with any of what you said? But nah, they work just fine too>>29004587Yeah this car should have just had drums in the rear, the 75% front to 25% rear brake force distribution combined with corrosive winter climate equals.. Well, this.
>>29004561What the fuck is a mot?
>>29004607Why are you putting fancy brake shit on a rusted shitbox like that? Just get the cheap shit off of rockauto.
>>29004644In the UK, for vehicles older than 3 years, they must undergo an MOT Test by a qualified mechanic to check roadworthiness. MOT stands for Ministry of Transport. If the car passes, it's valid for a year. It's a fearful time for the shitbox owner.They check stuff like tyres, suspension, brakes, seat belts, windscreen, horn, emissions. If you fail on a dangerous item, such as tyre with less than 1.6mm tread, you must get that fixed immediately if you want to drive the car on public roads again.Here's the list of items on the test.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/car-parts-checked-at-an-mot/car-parts-checked-at-an-mot
>>29004644Its a testing requirement that only applies to shit cars in the UK. If you keep your car up to date, you don't have to get an MOT.
>>29004659>If you keep your car up to date, you don't have to get an MOT.lol do you really mean if you never own a car older than 3 years you don't need an MOT?
>>29004660Exactly. Just don't drive shitty used cars.But new, then get rid once its too old.
>>29004661that's great but most people don't do that
>>29004663Sure they do, otherwise cars would cease to exist. MOT's are for people who have failed financially in life.
>>29004652Because the total price difference down to a "budget friendly" but still coated option for disks was less than $20, so not worth it.Again, that integrated wheel bearing dictates a certain price floor.
>>29004669This is some real low-status male thinking.Just pull your socks up and do better in life, rather rhan crying about some test for shitty old used cars
>>29004561I exclusively drive 20+ year old cars. They just check whether you have dangerous structural rust and if your brakes work or not.
>>29004644he used to run this place
>>29004681>I exclusively drive 20+ year old cars. They just check whether you have dangerous structural rust and if your brakes work or not.I exclusively drive 40+ year old cars. They don't check shit because I legally don't need them to.
>>29004607>>pins are seized>Nopebrah,if your brake pads arnt making proper contact its cause your slide pins are not sliding
