    Right hand disc is badly scored (due to brake pad wearing down to metal)
    Left Hand disc is well within tolerance & in good condition.

    Question, is it ok to replace the right hand one only . Or do I need to replace both.


    Thanks in advance

    IMO I would investigate why the pads wore so unevenly to begin with. The left side may have sticking calipers. :dunno:

    Many thanks for your quick replies.
    Will replace damaged disc,(this has saved a small fortune) and yes the the right side caliper pistons was sticking . I have remedied this by replacing all seals in both calipers.
    Cheers
