my car had new discs and pads 4000 miles ago because of brake judder its now doing it again. Garage said it needs new discs and pads. is there anything else that can be causing this as i don't want to be replacing them every 4000 miles. Garage said they are overheating.

are you taking it easy with the brakes when they are fitted, brakes need a bedding in period of around 200 miles. If this isnt the case do you do alot or any towing with the vehicle?

Hi Mike,
I am a disc brake specialist. You need to find a garage with a PROCUT brake lathe to skim your discs whilst still on the vehicle this will align the disc to within .002" of true. I suspect you have a hub runout problem and fitting new discs will only cure the problem for a short period of time. I have said equipment and I am based in Cambridgeshire. See www.discskimmers.com. If you want to find a lathe near you checkout www.skimmydiscs.com. If you want to discuss further call Marcus on 07824 903006. Most garages have never seen a PROCUT lathe work and so will always keep taking your money for new discs and pads.
