Bedding new discs in - whats the script??
Right, the XR discs are fucked after about 500miles (methinks I spanked them a little too hard) so I am goin to buy some new ones 2moz.
How do I bed them in, do I have to drive miss daisy for a month???
And before you all say "Ford brakes are shite, go buy some monster APs" I dont wanna spend loads on the peice of shit, I just need it to run me round while I look for another car.

Driving like Miss Daisy will possibly glaze the pads....
http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm gives some good details, basically a few near stops, getting heat into the pads and disc, then allowing to cool down properly. Just be very careful, as bedding brakes in can be an anti-social behaviour

Fuck me.................. its like some cunt is trying to rag my steering wheels side to side in an attempt to get me into a ditch. I think the car might be haunted

Ballin I do the same process. I also take a sanding disk to the surface of the rotors to clean away any extra plating and ruff up the surface just a little to help seat the pads.
