Author Message   Andy Nichols Posted on Tuesday, August 27, 2002 - 09:32 am:    Was checking out the rear rotors and they are noticeably grooved across the whole width of the pad due to normal wear (not metal to metal damage). So since I never owned a RR past this many miles, should I replace the rotors and do a caliper repair-kit job on it?   JB Posted on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 09:05 am:    If you don't know if the rotors have ever been done then it is time . Those rotors can take a beating and handle a groove but if you are ready to change them or are concerned about safety then it is a diy. If it is still heading straight after you hit the brakes now and still is after you put on new rotors then calipers are probably fine. 'They' say to always bleed the calipers when you put in the new pads. British Pacific and Atlantic British and others have good inexpensive rotors and caliper kits. Maybe while you have it apart replace and re-pack the bearings - another diy. Steps found at spanishtraillandrover website.
