Worth a shot... 🙂 I guess I'll just get the tyres done next week and let the garage do their thing. I may have a go at doing the discs and brakes myself (can it really be that difficult? I'm not completely inept) then torqueing up carefully and praying to every deity that it'll all be ok!

Thank you Chris, that makes sense. So, do you think the damage is done? Do I need to replace the hubs or do you reckon they are salvageable? The car is due to have new tyres fitted next week so do I need to flutter my eyelashes at the mechanic and ask him to be gentle? 😉 So I'm assuming if the hubs can be salvaged I can get away with fitting EBC discs and pads (won't go OE again) in theory all should be well...

Hi all, Not a newbie really but new computer and lost all my logins - Briskoda doesn't respond to any of my email addresses so I've had to start afresh. I am hoping somebody can help with my dreadful brakes. I am well aware there's an ongoing fault with Citigo brakes being made of chocolate or something like that but I'd like some advice. Citigo 75hp on a 63 plate. Had replacement warranty discs at 6 months old then fine until a few years later when we fitted EBC discs and pads. Been fine for several thousand miles until last year when it failed the mot. The garage replaced them (don't know what with, they said OE) but literally 3 months later they were wobbling again. We argued with the garage and managed to get them changed under warranty but then, pretty much another 3 months later it happens again. I've put up with them but it's driving me mad. I have done SO much research and, according to many posts, it doesn't seem to matter what brand you fit, it happens again - this suggests it's not actually the discs at fault. I found something on another forum that suggested it was a fault with the hubs and that only the 2011-2015 models were affected but I've checked the EPC and the part number is the same for all models with no supersession (I'm in motorcycle parts so sort of have an idea how it works). This theory seems to make sense so I am wondering could this be the solution? Do I fit new hubs, bearings, discs and pads? The mot is due in January and I know it will fail but I don't want to shell out for discs and pads again just for it to happen again 3 months down the line. Has anybody heard anything regarding this theory or please, if anybody has a solution please let me know. Thank you in advance.
