Wonder if it will ever dawn on the proprietor of the Oxford Abbatoir that cleaning up components and giving them a coat of (silver) paint doesn't count as 'reconditioning'... |

Glad she's fixed. I don't have the shrouds and never have. I did once have complete loss of brakes due to them overheating, but I had quite warped discs and was descending down from Exmoor with a car full of stuff from moving house for someone. I was becoming more and more steep and winding with warning signs, so I had to use one of those emergency run offs! All a bit scary. I had new discs put on and its been fine since. Just thought I'd chime in for a future reader who might be having problems. |

Interesting I think Sam had the same issue downhill once and since then he installed shrouds and not had failure I believe. |

Hmm. I have always put it down to the very warped discs. Funnily enough only heard about the shrouds recently and was thinking of picking some up. |

In the design stage someone thought they might be needed. Though the GS has inboard discs there are no such shrouds. They had been lost/removed on my old Acad, never had brake fade. But never drove down mountains. |
