Brake warp is caused by heavy braking and people leaving their foot on the pedal while stopped, (which also blinds some drivers behind you ). It happened to my dads scooby, I had a go at him about it coz he always used to leave his foot on the brake even when I told him not to. He had to buy four new discs, which weren't cheap as they're bigguns. Guess what, he doesn't sit on the brake any more - lol! Great to hear you got hold of your car mate. For the prob with the door talk to an accident repair garage, or give kerr chan a call on the old dog and bone? Haha, I bet you're glad to see the back of that micra!

if u only just bought it from a dealer surely u got some sort of warranty with it? personally i would tell them to sort it out. motors aint cheap and even tho its used it should be in a reasonable state. a bent door aint reasonable, and brakes comes down to health & safety...get them to fix it! by the way i think they a really nice car!

Scooby will know where to get them from, (or might even supply them himself) mine judder but only when im braking from 100mph+ on that private test track that everyone goes to........ they brake fine all other times at normal speed when driving on the road though. the brakes are standard calipers, cross drilled+vented discs, green stuff pads how worried should i be? <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />

Not at all mate. It's normal at that kinda speed in a car as small as a fezza. If you were driving a jag or summat it wouldn't happen - it's just that small cars aren't built for err, for test track speeds.
