It's a brake disc...

Is the car regularly used?

Is it only one disc or both sides?

dont use car much only on weekends work away but it's only o/s disc that's the problem and when this side is loaded up corners it's making a noise as if a wheel bearing has gone I thought I could be the calliper piston seized ?

well done fella blue Peter badge on its way lol

It certainly does look like a sized caliper although that wouldn't cause a noise when that wheel was loaded up. That's normally a sign of a wheel bearing on it's way out.

I would find a nice quiet country road and step hard on the brakes a few times to see if it cleats up otherwise I would strip the caliper and free it up.

Might get more info if posted in the correct section

I get the grinding noise too if I leave my car for a few days due to surface rust on the face of the discs. Reason why I dismissed this was that he said it was only on one disc.

i understand about the surface rust building up on discs if not used regularly but to damage a disc like that there's more to it plus the noise aswell could that be something to do with it

 

[cuprabob]

I'm on my phone so it's hard to see the damage to the disc in detail.

 

[Marcus Morgan]

Thanks mate no not had calliper off but it's got that bad it needs sorting soon just had price for new discs aswell shocking price over £400 pair I think I paid £300 for a new set on my first R32 but that was 8 years ago

its got 2 score lines right the way around the disc it started as 1 now there's 2 and they getting deeper

 

[Marcus Morgan]

Are they any good though that's the problem warping ?? Come to mind there

That's normally caused by a stone being stuck between the caliper and the disc. Also ties in with the grinding noise. I
