    Try removing a wheel at a time and see if its just pads you need, then go to Range Rove and buy them, will take you 10 mins to fit and save you some dosh.

    Eventually. Will probably pull one way under brakes for a while tho, and will eat the pad fast.

    If your in the **** & can't get it skimmed, and the rotor's not chewed up too bad you can carefully linish it with some emery tape jammed between the pad & rotor surfaced with an assistant lightly applying the brake. When I say carefully I mean watch your fingers. Bighties.

    Have done this to SWMBO bike in the middle of whoop whoop with reasonable success.
    edit. it was only a rear brake and a bike doesn't have 'pulling'issues.

    Doesn't pull and beds the pads and wear evenly, but I'm only talking oops we've hit metal, best change them damage, not drive for 3 weeks thinking whats that noise

    Rotors needn't be flat from the outside to the inside, just flat around the ring

    When the man says they're grinding something awefull, I think they've progressed from just touched down
    I'd say they won't be healthy.
