Rear Brake Disc

I wondered if anyone has a used rear disc lying around that I could buy. Not really worried about condition as long as it's straight. I have an issue with one of mine being warped and need one to get me by until the new ones arrive.

Thanks

I had a look at that one, it's now been relisted twice. ONly problem with the rears is that they are specific per side, i.e. there is a right disk and a left disk, not like the fronts where on disk can be used on either side. So you would need to know which one is warped.

Why not just get it skimmed, 1.5 hour job max for £50-70 rather than £500+ for a new set.

I have looked at this but I think it is too severely warped for skimmimg. It has been like it for a while but has been getting worse and now rubs when you are not braking which sounds the same as if the pads were low.
The disc on ebay is the same price you can get from TPS with a trade account so no benefit there.
I am planning to get a new pair as is the only longterm solution but need something asap to get me by, as said I am not worried ont the condition, anything will be better.

Thanks

I had the same thing with my rears and skimming cured it, worth a shot for the short term and I imagine you could find someone to do it in the next couple of days.
