New pads and original discs,also the car ia a manual.Mrs T is reluctant to rive the car as it could be dangerousNew pad to old discs? A spot of left foot breaking might sort it no one asked is it an auto?
Thanks for that.The best plan is for me to go back to Nissan and find out what they didDid you have the problem before you had the pads changed? If not a trip back to the place you had them fitted is the order of the day. Was there still “meat” on the pads. before they were changed? If not has the disc been scored/warped. A new set of discs may be needed. MOT stations are only getting fussy about the state of disc wear & I now look on them as disposable items just like the pads.

Like I said I don't know Nissans but some cars do suffer from grot in the ABS rings, I expect it would flash the ABS light on the dash if there was a problem.Thaks for the heads up zx9.Is the ABS system an expensive item
Hopefully it's not one of those stupid modern ones that cuts the throttle when you press the brake so you can't do the old left foot braking technique.New pad to old discs? A spot of left foot breaking might sort it no one asked is it an auto?

That sounds to me dealers inventing an answer to cover a poor disc!I was told warping of the front discs is often the result of the driver's habit of holding the car on the footbrake instead of the handbrake, it concentrates the heat of the hot pad in one area.
When I asked why the rear disc did not warp by using the handbrake the answer was rear discs are heavier and designed for purpose, plus the fact all manufacturers are doing everything possible to reduce weight no matter how small a difference, hence thinner front discs = more chance of warping.
It may have some truth in it because it tends to be the front discs that have the majority of warping issues.
