Sorting Out Your Ford Transit's Disc Brake Rotors — With RDA
> Let's be straight up, mate: your Ford Transit's disc brake rotors are absolutely vital. They're what your brake pads grip to bring that big van to a halt. Over time, especially with the hard yards these Transits often pull, rotors wear down. That means dodgy braking and a WOF headache.
Spotting Trouble: Is It Time for New Rotors?

• Brake pedal feels like it's vibrating or pulsing?
• Taking longer to stop than it used to?
• Rotors looking scored or just plain rough?
WOF Woes: Will They Pass the Test?
Worn or rooted disc brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They gotta be above minimum thickness and free from major damage to get the tick.
