what an exciting morning I am having...

cleaning the dirty K&N panel I took out of the Golf... all this before dawn, too. What a rock and roll lifestyle I have.

You go steady there!

Yes... I know. Too much excitement could be bad for me, I'm not getting any younger and I have barely gotten over the shock of the bill from it's service during the week.

New rear discs and pads
New rear n/s calliper (the old one was sticking)
Replaced the main beam with Night Breakers
re-gas the aircon
plus all the usual service goodness like oil, cabin filters, oil filters etc.

I expected the discs and pads and I'd asked for the rest to be done but the brake calliper was a surprise. Still, I dunno how old the rear discs were... I've done 90,000 miles on them alone. Can't complain too much.

How much?

£370 in parts alone The old Porka might find itself sitting on the drive a while longer than planned.

Ouch! Still, its a tool of your trade so not much choice than to pay up I guess!

Brakes are kinda non-negotiable on a car. Had to be done and I need my daily driver!
