It was 32 mm....... -
Heat shields behind the discs can be bent and make contact with the lower ball joint. This has symptoms like you are describing.

Seems the groves and holes don't matter then, fewww didn't fancy doing the same job again. Bit worried still, from reading that it seems i might be a "self proclaimed expert on all things automotive" something i try (maybe not successfully) not to be haha. -

I didn't do the fronts on my car as i bought it with them fitted. But i did recently change the rear callipers and to bleed just used a length of hose on the nipple, 11mm (i think) ring spanner on the nipple, penetrating spray to losen it if its a little stuck, fresh fluid and a willing assistant to pump the pedal on command. Just did it the "old" way, open the nipple pump the pedal, close the nipple, repeat until there is no air left in the fluid coming out. -

You will need to bleed the brakes, bound to be some air that enters the system. -

http://www.mtecbrakes.com/brake_disc_fitting_bedding_in Just google this and found the above page. I could well looking at this wrong be looking at this wrong, but it appears the grove enters the caliper on the inside edge closest to the centre of the disc first. But a google image search shows them fitted on various cars in both directions. Starting to feel its not too crucial to how they work ha. But then again they are brakes so i do want to be sure... -

First off I'm not trying to be a smart arse ha..... but are these disc's on the right way, as in direction of the groves and holes, they look like the mtec ones I've just put on and if these are right mine are wrong. Not sure which is right, or if it even matters, but i do remember there was a piece of paper that came with them with directions about this that i very quickly lost.. Anyone got any help on this? -

Through in a app radio and reversing camera Pulled out a old insurance black box a found and Gave the seats a front room wet vac Next up drop links, new rear callipers (silver a cheaper so had to paint them) and another good clean. So that’s up to date, I think hopfully not too dull…. Next up Cruise Control and some drilled groved front discs..
