Well I took my buggy to my uncles garage today because driving it had become a little scary... touch teh brakes and it swaps lanes....lol

So we stuck it on teh rollers and it told us teh discs were warped... happy!

So my barely worn in discs were shot!!

So new discs and pads later all fitted and the buggy brakes in a straight line at long last!

I also decided to change teh front shockers as my drivers whell has been flapping around the new shocks are skinnier and so no need to cut the guards off and they dropped in lovely!

Need to bed brakes in gently Danny, harsh braking on new pads can cause warping, take it steady for a few hundred miles.

As to not taking guards off, not sure it's a good idea, my squeaked like buggery, it wasn't the shock scrapping the spring, but the guard scrapping on the body of the shock.
