Will my disks be warped?
After my caliper seized a few weeks ago and me having no money to sort it, i should eb able to get it sorted tomorrow but i was told the other day to
expect the disk to be warped.
How likely is this? The car was driven about half a mile at 30 - 40 mph with the caliper seized (A27 is a sod to find somewhere safe to stop 
)

it might or might not. you won't know for certain until you check it.

possible if got that hot, no real way of telling till un-seized and you can spin it freely, or get the pads out and spin the disc

Even if it is, so long as it is not nearing its minimum wear limit you can get them faced by a local engineering shop.

Havent changed it yet. Thought id check as if everyone said 'of course they will have warped', i would change the disks while i am there.

Discs do not tend to "warp" as such. Normally what people think of as warping is pad deposits or where the structure of the metal itself
changes due to extreme heat.
Often 'warped' discs can be cleaned up by some hard stops over a short period as this will get the disc up to a decent temp and clean them
up. Failing that you can get them faced.

25 years ago it was economical to get warped disks skimmed, but I doubt the same is true now.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!
