102 Warped front discs
My XM is suffering from warped front discs only 9 000 miles/14 400 km sincethey were replaced. The
dealer says "Yes, it often happens." Any ideas why?

Our company car (XM turbo ct 1997) had the same problem.
The discs were treated and the advise of the garagist was not to use the parking brake. The temperature
of the discs would lower sooner at the spot where the brake pad touches the disc. If you don't use the
parking brake the temperature of the discs will lower more equally
