Is there anything wrong in this picture?

Has your caliper seized? Was a smell of burning apparent when you got out of the car and had a sniff at the wheel?

That happened on my fiesta, an awful smell but no strange noises though!?!?

I took it in for a service at an independant garage and was told that I needed new brake pads and brake shoes, which is apparently a common ford problem.

I've no problems with getting new discs and pads but I guess what I need to know is whether its safe to use the car or whether I'm on the bus until the weekend (omg!). Logic would dictate horrid noise = leave the car on the drive, but hmmmm.
Yes but when the alternative is public transport I'd rather risk death tbh :)
 
All fixed - new discs and pads, problem completely gone away, car stops no trouble, sorted.

Well happy - first thing thats 'gone wrong' and it turned out only to be consumables :D
 
Could you take a picture of the same angle as you did before, just for a comparison shot to see the difference of brand new disks and pads. Curious as to see how much thicker the discs are etc.

If I get some time, yea. Might be able to do it on Friday :)
 
Fox, why not get some 'Brombo' decals. They're awesome.

See...
