The uneven wear on my rear discs was getting really bad after 2 winters and 25k miles so I thought I'd try to figure out what was causing it. Having stripped the brakes down, it was obvious that the sliding part of the caliper wasn't pulling the outer pad evenly against the disc, the inner disc...

Hi all, Something I’ve been meaning to ask, when you are using the regenerative braking (tacking your foot of pedal ) do the brake lights come on, otherwise it could be a problem if you have Mr BMW close behind. Cheers Tony

Based on my experiments it seems that braking does not use regen in itself...is that other peoples view? Different kers setting impacts the regen but for example if on kers 1 and then use the brake it seems to be capped at a lower level, kers 2 a slightly higher level etc.. My previous leaf...
