Bargain 8) It isn't worth messing about with them for a tenner, especially when it's cold outside :lol: :lol:

Our brakes needed doing BADLY. Down to the metal nearly :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: A small window in the weather last week and the brake pads we had for months are now safely installed by Hubby. Had to be done and he feels much safer if he knows it is done properly by himself. Nice clean, clean, clean oil change done as well. Just been down to Weston Super Mare and back in the knowledge that everything is clean and working well.

The price you got quoted (a Tenner) is a smashing price though. :wink:
