Take a look at this disc off the front of an 05 Ka;


Looks a bit ropey eh ? This is the other side;

OH MY GOD.!!!! Is it me or should there be another piece of disc on the other side...?

Does look abit thin for a front brake disc! Did they actually work?

How can anyone not know there's a problem!! I assume it did come in for brakes.

I'm assuming these are/were vented discs and they've broken apart...you'd think they would have noticed them flying off the car!!

Does look frightening. Sometimes things like that can go with little or no warning. I had a Fiesta Turbo from new and it had done abour 25k miles, was driving to work one day down a 70 mph dual carriageway braked to slow at a roundabout and got a dreadful noise. I was literally 200 metres from a ford dealer, stopped and asked him to have a look and basically the one front disc was worn through. No warning lights, no squeal and no noise or brake fade. When he tried to take the one disc off it quite literally fell apart. Lucky I guess it happened where it did. It hadn't been picked up at the previous service.

That's an inventive cooling mod isn't it Tony?

The caliper pistons had poped out due to excessive travel, so yeah, it had no brakes. Owner claimed it had been grinding for a "couple of days". Couple of months more like.

I'm with you on that one
