Well the little 1.5dci hits it third birthday end of the month, booked it into a local garage for a full service (checked oil grade synthetic etc) and an MOT, after an hour got a call saying that the offside rear brake was not functioning, the disc is rusty so could have been a problem for a while, possible caliper problem, but will need new discs and pads. :-(

after another 30 mins was told that the pad had fouled/stuck causing the problem, will just need pads and discs total cost to do work plus the service, MOT Parts and labour £430, :) nipped down to garage to have look at the disc... :eek

Happy days crack on the dealer would have had me for 300 odd smacker for the service alone :cool:

That night onto the tax disc website £30 for tax disc and heres to a year of happy motoring with brakes that are working a lot better then they were, not that i had noticed must of tailed off gradually.

When mine had its MOT in August i was told the rear brakes were shot too. I got new pads fitted and the lip ground down, but need new disc and pads for next MOT. I was just being cheap this year :oops:

Can't say that i noticed they were knackered either.
