These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I haven't made any useful posts for a while, but I've been collecting some pics. Anyway, I noticed my front pads / discs smelling a little 'hot' the other day. Cheking the pads they were fine (fairly recently changed anyway). The discs were changed not all that many miles ago as well. Upon further inspection I noticed that the vents and drilled surface of the discs were blocked with brake dust. Taking the correct sized drill I set about drilling out the holes, turning the disc around and giving it gentle tap with a rubber mallet to get the dust out, and there was a lot! After completing and testing, the smell and heat had gone! Later looking through the history I found out that this is common practice for OPC's to do. Just thought I would post up as it may be worth checking sometime.

POST 2Original post

to my good wife this item's a scent diffuser, to me those strips of wood are perfectly square ended for pushing out brake dust. She has asked why some are missing, she's even more concerned now i'm photographing it, think the games up, I may have been tumbled.

POST 4Original post

I keep meaning to do mine too, but im putting it off til we get that week of good weather lol. I would guess your brakes are now a bit sharper too.

POST 5Original post

just done mine 2 x trackdays in 5 days gets a bit of build up ! should help cut down the disc cracking mind you, I'm off to PF floating & 6pot now...

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yup, feels much better now Chris Bit of a messy job but well worth keeping on top of I think. 6 pots would be nice David
