Hi,
Just got my car back from it's 100,000km service and I was told I would

need to change my rear pads and disc rotors soon. Is this common for
rotors to need changing? The dealership told me that they don't
machine disc rotors, they only replace them. Has anyone experienced
this? And...apparently my front pads still have about 40,000kms to go
before neededing replacement...and they have never been changed in the
car's lifetime! Bizzare.
Dan.

Normally the front discs wear out before the rear, but the rear ones can
suffer from rusting up which will reduce the braking so much that
replacement is the only option.
No they are not normally machined, as new ones are very cheap (at least they
are in the UK from the independent suppliers).

Brembo make a very good rotor/pad set for the rear and front of 307s. I
had my car's front done a year ago and it cost a lot less than the
Peugeot dealer quoted. You must be a very good driver, 100,000km without
a pad set is outstanding.
