Having driven relatively frequently recently there is still an issue with the off-side front. Below 50 mph all seems well, or insufficiently severe as to generate excessive heat. Above 60 mph then over-heating brakes becomes evident. Attached is a picture of the off-side front disc. I assume a replacement is necessary. Caused by a dodgy calliper?

Any advice re. required bits? Discs from the TwoSixties, MG ZT 190 callipers from Rimmers? Any particular nuts, bolts, pipes etc. I should consider? Assume some bleeding of brakes is required. Now the imponderable question: basic DIY or Garage task? If DIY has anyone definitive advice as to where to position axle stands (clean answers only please).
