Hi everyone

Just joined, my name is pete. I have a problem with apparent warped brake discs?? have put in more details under the general help section-anyone else had problems with warped brake discs front or rear???

Good site to know about as I have been trying to find details all over teh web and this site seems really good. Keep up the good work.

Pete Thumbs Up!

Hi Pete and welcome to the forum  Thumbs Up!
Please can you update your profile with vehicle details and location.
Yes a lot of us have had warped discs and the advice on here is to buy genuine Vx parts.
Vx sell a kit with both front discs and pads included  Thumbs Up!

Hi Pete, welcome to the forum  Thumbs Up!

Quite often genuine Vx parts are the best option. I don'tbuy anything 'til i've checked with the experts on this site.  Cool
