Spent nearly £100 there today!

As well as having the rocker cover gasket changed, I asked them to check my brakes for me as they umm... didn't seem to be working properly and made a squealing noise when in use.

They phoned me up earlier to say the front pads were worn down to the metal and were cracked... Was shown them when I went to pick up the car. The front discs and pads were only changed in October last year, although I've done about 11, 000 miles since then...

Now all I need to do is get 2x new front tyres, get the slightly blowing exhaust sorted (AGAIN), and replace the driver's side headlamp as it's cracked, and it will pass the MOT in a couple of week's time!

Oh well, at least I can brake again now! Haha!

I asked the guy if it was cheaper to simply chuck a ship anchor out the window whenever I wanted to brake instead of changing the pads, he kinda looked at me in disgust.
