Answer 1

Have a chat with your local mechanic or dealer (more expensive option) and arrange a price.

I replaced the front discs on a previous car - no problem and I had to fit new brake pads as the existing ones would not have been safe to re-use.

My most recent car - I got the dealership to do the work. £160 all in for a '97 Rover 200. That was for new discs and new pads and labour.

You should be aware that it is very dangerous to drive a car in that condition as the brakes are now no longer effective.

Some brake pad may still exist to help out but early brake pads were rivetted on to the shoe and the rivets will damage the disc.

Once you have the work done, you should only apply the brakes lightly, giving yourself plenty of room from the vehicle in front and leave yourself a lot of braking distance. It takes time for new pads to wear in against the discs.

Answer 2

Depends on whether they can resurface the rotor, or have to replace the rotor. Resurfacing means they machine off a thin layer of metal to make the surface flat again. As they do this the rotor gets thinner...(which is allowable to a certain measurement) Either the damage is gone or it isn't. At that point, it is rotor replacement.
Much more costly than replacing the brake pads when you should have.

Answer 3

Brake placed on is all approximately use. it is not suffering from skill of time or wheel alignment or a number of the different nonsense listed above. in case you have a 50-mile/day street holiday with 2 stops (one at each end of the holiday) you will get so lots greater miles out of your brakes than somebody driving the comparable vehicle on a 50 mile holiday with 20 stops. you desire to to envision your driving behavior too. Do you brake once you do no longer probable decide to (driving the brakes)? Do you enhance up like a madman from mild to mild? that variety of stuff.

Answer 4

Depends on how much damage. If damage is not too severe rotors can be machined and resurfaced. This doesn't cost too much. If damage is beyond resurfacing, it will cost you quite a bit since you will require new rotors, unless you can find some good used ones, in which case it won't cost you as much as new ones.

Answer 5

A new pair of DISCS will cost you £35 - £50, fitted £80 - £100. If four discs (don't know the car) double the above.

Answer 6

if your brake pads or brake shoes wear to the metal plate backing them . You have a metal to metal situation and that causes damage to rotors or drums , if you fit new brake pads or shoes onto them the damage on the rotors or drums damages your new pads or shoes making them work at a lower efficiency also they wear out twice as fast , no mechanic worth his salt would even consider fitting new brakes onto damaged rotors or drums

Answer 7

It will depend on how bad the rotor was dammaged...they may be able to resurface the rotor and get you new pads and be on your way fairly cheap. Worst case you might need new rotors AND pads. Price on rotors will vary from vehicle to vehicle

Answer 8

roters? disks yes?
in spain obout 80 euros for both
pads about same plus labour.

Answer 9

The price would vary car to car, so we would need to know what car you've got.

Answer 10

What are rotors? If you mean the disc's there about a tenner each.
