Hello all
I changed my break discs about 10 months (6000 miles) ago. My dealer is telling me that they need to be changed again because they are rusty. Does that make any sense?
Cheers

Sounds like rubbish to me!
You should only need to replace them if they are worn below the minimum allowable thickness, or if they are warped.
Usually your pads would wear out first not the discs, and at 6000miles there is no way you should have to do discs unless you have really hammered them!
