Rusty Discs
Completed 240 mile trip yesterday through wind and rain. Car parked on drive overnight and noticed heavy surface rust on discs this morning. Will take car for drive to apply brakes and hopefully remove it but just wondered if this is normal on the XC40? I hope the pictures show properly.

Mine get rusty but never as bad as that, a lot of salt on the roads which doesn't help.
Sometimes the pads stick to the discs due to the rust and they don't half bang when they release.
Thinking about it, as you were driving before you parked up the discs should have been pretty dry. Mine have gone rusty after washing or from rain bouncing up off the drive or blowing onto the disks which given the weather last night is the more likely cause?

Grateful for your replies. Gave the car and wheels a good wash to remove the salt and then took it for a short drive with plenty of braking. Still a little surface rust showing but much better now.
