Not that I can tell, no wobble in hub, gap from guard small and hand brake works fine.

Are the calliper sliders siezed? |

This needs a picture please, because unless the caliper carrier has snapped / broken, as I see it, it's impossible to lose a rear pad - unless the wrong pads have been fitted.

I’d suggest a thorough check of the whole system; my understanding is that there’s a split braking system design which partitions the master cylinder reservoir so that the front brakes remain operative should the rears fail and visa versa. If your experience was a “total loss of fluid and zero brakes” the implication is that something has mistakenly been done with the brake lines to negate this protection. TDV8 4.4 2012 |

Have you got the brake pad that fell off, if so is there any pad material on it. |

How can the pad 'fall off' when there is a caliper attached???? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I don't have the missing pad but all the rest are 6mm give or take.

That there is your problem then. You've solved this yourself. |

I ordered some rear discs from auto doc, correct part number etc but they sent the solid discs which are smaller too.

………. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that? |
