Cool brake photos

I did brakes on a C230 for a friend a week ago thought you guys may appreciate this. Bare in mind the phrase "it barely stops" was uttered before I saw the car.





I'd heard stories, but never seen a cut rotor in my time working on cars.

Its very solid, underneath, tons of surface bubbling on the body. I doubt it would pass an MOT, not sure what Cypresses equivalent is. Its not a very nice car, it's not mine, I was helping a co-worker out.

The only problem with idiot lights is that they are there to warn idiots, who will just ignore them anyway!!
