    Back brakes

    Hi all, I recently bought a second hand mg5 (roughly 3 years old) and I have zero knowledge of cars. The back brakes look rusty. Not the part where the brake pads are but a little in front of that. (See attached photo) Is this of a concern? Thanks!!

    MPH? changing from 17" to 16"

    Planning on using my MG5{pfl}16" wheels with winter tyres this year. Then 'thought' does the smaller wheels affect the speedo mileage readings on Facelift model?. Did I hear correctly that this would increase range?
