Had a massive issue yesterday when travelling back from work. Had to apply the brakes quite firmly due to someone pulling out and suddenly all braking power is lost.
Whilst gently applying the brakes now my car shudders and clunks and either locks up and skids or just glides without stopping.
Took it to my friendly neighbourhood mechanic who said that the brakes were 'cooked' and new pads and possibly discs are needed on the front. He then ordered a set of discs and pads for 90quid. Has anyone ever used Delphi before and is there anything I should be wary of? If I had the cash and the time I would have had the brembos ordered but this needed doing quick to get me back on the road.
I'll post a pic of what the disc looked like when he managed to get it off, he said he'd never seen on like it :S.
