Towards the end of a 20 min track session, being pushed too fast by the instructor, I started to have a moderate vibration on hard braking. In the next session an hour later the vibration started after a couple of laps and then the pad wear red message and light came on - so I stopped.
Examining the rear brakes I see that the pads are at about 3mm and the discs approaching the limit of 22 mm). One of the pad wear indicators has tilted over and contacted the disc. Don't know if it tilted and touched or touched and tilted. I notice that on one of Richard's responses he says the wear indicators are about 4mm anyway. The inside of the discs are slightly corroded, not as nice and shiny as the outside. Front pads and discs look fine, and were replaced about 5,000 miles ago, as were rear pads.
Question 1 - could the vibration be caused by the corroded disc or thickness on limit
Question 2 - what experience have people had with Pagid replacement and who to buy from
Question 3 - replacement looks quite simple, does the parking drum brake cause problems
