Whats the best way to stop this? Drilled and grooved discs or better pads.

I know! Was a little and often on the brakes which probably didnt help but they shouldnt have over heated that quickly

Standard Ford discs and pads will last longer than a bit of braking on a B road.

I'm using Pagid discs and Pagid pads on mine, survived 15,000 miles of mixed road driving, two Lydden hill track sessions, 3 laps of the 'ring with no fade, excessive wear etc.

Try replacing the pads first, and adjusting driving style lol
