| Newer cars are too much of a pain in the ar$e. I'll do pads and similar these days, but leave anything complicated to a garage as I really can't be doing with breaking anything.

| Phoned Haynes today to complain about the website saying they were out of stock to be told that there was a website problem and they could take the order over the phone. Missed the group Buy unfortunately. Rob |
