We were coming back from Bude many years ago, and we always stopped at the first m/way refreshment area. My friend was in his Rover 400 series, and when we stopped side by side, I said I could smell like burning brake pads. Noticed smoke coming from his near side front wheel. When we looked it was glowing red. Boot full of the usual holiday stuff, he decided to call the RAC or AA out. When they got down to it, he said it would be interesting to find out what it was. It turned out to be a largish stone that had jammed between the disc and the brake back plate. He had not noticed anything when using the brakes.
