as above, I managed to get the rear drums de-rusted and covered in a nice matt black laquer, half of which ended up on my clothes, hands and driveway ;) before the heavens opened and soaked me :(
My problem is, I took the front passenger wheel off to do the caliper and when I took a closer look there was a hairline crack on the disc brake from the outter edge going down towards the centre covering about 1/3 of the braking suface :(
this could of been there for weeks who knows, but I want to know is it something to worry about? can I still drive as normal and forget about it? Will I need new disks? :(
I'd prefer it if I didn't have to get new discs as I don't have the time or money to get some/fit them and plus MITCAR is coming up and I want to be able to go :(

Any help people? Tom?

ok chap. Whats best, are OE ones cheapest? I was fairly happy with how they were performing before I noticed the crack so if they are cheap I'd rather have them to some aftermarket ones.
is it just a case of going into fiat and asking for 1.2 front discs?
any idea of the price?

as much as that :( what a nightmare :(
I was thinking more along the lins of 40-50 squid :(
is it an easy enough job to do yourself?

once again my dad has saved the day :)

Got home and said my Disc's cracked :(
a bit of abrasive paper and 10 mins later, the "crack" has gone ;)
turns out that the crack was actually just a really hard mark and it sanded off in the end.
yay!!!
Perhaps I should not worry so much eh ;)
thanks for all your help lads :)
