Got a pair of unused vgc 8.4" brake discs for a fiver

[AGoaty]

Today I have removed a rear radius arm as it has failed it's MOT.

I've took them to be rebushed at a local garage and hopefully will get them back tomorrow for refitting.

How much does that cost?

Today I have looked at her parked on the street (again). Not started her in nearly a week. A chav has tried to rob her bullet mirror and its hanging off, I dont know how to re-fix it. I am thinking araldite at the minute! Laid up with pig flu though, so it will have to be next week in the massive pre-mot "I should sort that rather than ignore the handbrake not working and holes in the bootfloor" session she needs!

Today I cleaned off the old grease, grime, and underseal off my Hydrolastic pipes, fuel line, and positive (or negative, i guess for this car) cable.

My old tin of celly thinners came in handy.

Now I'm off to work

Earlier today (around 1am) me and my brother discussed the idea of replacing the clutch and pressure plates ourselves.
Then after the inevitable conclusion, I called up my local garage (anyone who lives otley way crossley's garage are amazing) and he said labour would be around £90. So, money comes through, i go to minispares and 3 hours later, i dont have to keep the revs below 3000rpm on hills anymore

I was quoted £300ish from my cheap garage!!!

...for what?
That's cheap for a complete respray.
But expensive for, say, a ball joint.

Or to change an indicator bulb!

Sorry, was in reply to 90quid labour on a clutch... Although that did include the part at £90.
