Default MOT fail

last year i took my s8 to bradford audi for the anual mot. it passed with flying colours at a cost of "nothing".
this year i thought i would try my look again and took it back to bradford audi for my free mot. the only problem this year is it "failed". i was a bit peeded off cos it only failed on the brakes. they said i had less than 1.5mm of pad left on both my front and rear pads. they then wanted to fit new pads and recomended i also change my disks as a matter of course at a cost i would not dare ask !
so i removed my car from bradford audi, ordered some more "ebc yellow-stuff" pads and phoned our trusted mechanic ben. he had some spare time to fit my pads on saturday so off i went to daventry.
all was well until he took my old pads out. they were to say absolutly cream-crackered !



i know its hard to tell with these photos but as he took them out they just fell to pieces. i really needed new ones straight away.





i now just need wv pheaton brake cooling ducts and my bodywork repairing then i will be ready for this year
