I bet you a shiny penny that Bosch turn around and say they can not accept responsibility for the damage because they do not know how the car was driven or that there is evidence of vehicle abuse.

Put it down to experience and use it as an excuse for some higher spec discs.

haha knowledge (everythings written in a book for you)

there are a few tools at the welshpool branch

i just ask for people that have half an idea and know what im talking about

Um No mate not really.....

Mate, you have no idea what it takes to be a good parts interpreter. Finding a part number on a PC is only 20% of what I do.

Over the phone diagnostics, analyzing smash jobs for quotation, pretty much understanding every system and they're interaction (engine, trans, ecu,body, suspension,electronics, trim, brakes etc) in any specific vehicle.

Damn you got me started! //end rant.

Cov's lost a lot of people when they changed over to orical for the inventory system, poor change over, minimal training etc. People with 20+ years just walk out the door.

Balistic: That disk looks to me (maybe just the way the photo looks?) like the pads haven't even bedded in yet. You can see some transfer of pad material to the disc surface, which is normal during the bed in. At least they're not glazed glass smooth!

The disc certainly isn't scored beyond use. That disc shows a partial bed in on re-machined discs.

Unless the person who skimmed the discs did a shit job (left them ridged trying to rush the job) I'd look at them again in another 500km to see if the surface has become more uniform. throw-away level ridging is 3+ mm usually.

That's a rear disc right? 500km to fully bed in rears, 250 for fronts.

They're the Quick Stop metallic pads so they're bound be a little agressive to the disc.

that doesnt look like little aggressive though...

good timing on the post as im in the process of deciding a new set of rotors and pads for myself so thanks for the heads up and hope you make some progress with bosch somehow

Fobz and I are both running EBC green pads and RDA slotted front disc's in our STI's , very happy with them.

ahha got you rev'd up, nah i know how it is was just pulling your leg.

Mind you they deal with a heap of different stuff which impresses me when they actually know what there talking about. Its not just parts they deal with its the whole thing
:P

It's all good!!

I did 9 years with Cov's, the last 3 were up in Kalgoorlie doing mining contract work.....I finished in 2001 with them.

I think I've done every make over the last 16/17 years: except Ferrari, skoda & audi!!
