Just grind the lip off and new pads for beans on fleabay job done

The lips have gotta be at least 4mm too much metal missing off discs for me , am real touchy about brakes cos do lot of miles, inc postage 2 new discs , pads fr+rear copper slip, brake cleaner = £ 125.31 new disc for terrano 2 = £40.70 X 2 Cos never change on their own think seems ok price ?

now I'm really not a very fussy person when it comes to cars, but there is no way i would use second hand brake parts, have you tried getting advice on the official minimum thickness and then getting them measured with verniers. Then you might get away with just pads, job done - or for peace of mind just swap the lot

Totally agree & for peace of mind will be swapping the lot ,
