I'm in my final year of Jazz ownership, in 2002 I never planned to keep this one so long but it has met my needs and I tend to use hire cars for business travel to keep things simple. Before it goes I'm probably going to address the advisory from last year's MOT, "n/s and o/s front brake back plates corroded".
The lower portion of the disc splash guard has corroded and is now perforated, it's not a failure item in itself as the splash guards could be removed entirely but any corroded or jagged part should sound a note of caution. From the manual it looks like you have to pull the hubs from the wheel bearing to gain access to the back plate fixings.
To be honest replacing these
looks like a complete PITA, but maybe it will prevent some other random thing becoming an advisory instead.
Has anyone done this or something similar?
