can someone look at this pic and give me advice on what i should do....
Hello all, im kinda new to the whole DIY when it comes to cars, but am really keen to get into it
my car has some serious break problems even i know this is bad, but i need someone who knows a bit more to take alook at this picture of my rear right side wheel and disc rotor, its pretty obviouse that i will need a new disc rotor but will i need new breaks to. Take a close look at the pic download and zoom in if u have too but looks to me that a part of the break, near where the pad goes has broken off.. anyways any advice would be appreciated greatly thank you

"The brakes seem to be fading!"
but I still don't understand why it hasn't got any phillips screws holding the brake disk on, Maybe this was an aftermarket disk that didn't performs quite as well as the oem does! ??
