Nasty rusty disc!

Yeah I noticed that and was going to put about it but events overtook me.  The car was used the day before for 50 local miles.  It rained all that day and overnight with the result shown in the photo, a little disappointing as . . .

 

 . . . the discs (and pads) were new in October this year about a 1,000 miles ago.

 

The discs (and pads) are Pagid, sadly no longer Pagid Performance Braking(?) (Pagid UK Ltd.) up in North Yorkshire as the German side took them over and closed them down a while back.  Now "Pagid is an OE brand of TMD Friction, and part of the Nisshinbo Group – the world’s biggest manufacturer of brake friction, and a truly global partner for the automotive industry."

 

I think Euro Car Parts has a big tie-in with Pagid.

 

I was impressed with the presentation and use of the pads, perhaps a little less so with the discs even from fitting but that's modern metals for ya, braking seems good though.  TDM Friction are Mintex and a few others too.

 

I'm sure you'll all be very glad to know the brakes were clear within a very short distance.  😁

Light touch paper and retire to a safe distance.......

But of course you are right - 2  high spec Yeti’s both with 16” wheels direct from factory!!

Heads down.......
