I'll stick with my brother Mark who is a good one even though he's no longer in the trade. As for horror stories, having worked most of his mechanic time on Citroen's (I mean he is experienced with the ones with the weird suspension), he has probably seen a few weird ones...

Coming back to wdyatt's post, I take it that the rotors are what we would call the discs? If I'm understanding this correctly, you can have pads worn to the metal scoring the discs and a powerwash will fix it?
