Brake refresh before a long trip

The brief

A grinding noise under light braking, two weeks before a family road trip.

What we found

Front pads worn to the backing plate on the inner side, caused by a seized slide pin. The discs were scored past their minimum thickness.

What we did

  • New front discs and pads
  • Slide pins cleaned, lubricated and new boots fitted
  • Brake fluid change and measured road test
