With the mot due in a couple of weeks, I set about fixing the rear brakes on the audi

 

problemo numero uno was a very stuck slider pin, the reverse of this disc was all bright and shiney but the front obviously hadn't been doing much work recently (this does around 2-300 miles a week, believe it or not)

eventually it was persuaded free, cleaned up and re-greased and the new disc and pads fitted - only one hour so far, not too bad I suppose.

 

side 2 was even worse, another stuck slider pin but this time it needed some serious brute force to shift it, meaning it's sliding days were over. not to worry, it's a modern vag, a quick call to europarts should see this sorted. ffs they only come in a set of four and they were asking £35 for it. ok google, what's the number for the local audi dealers ? fffffs they want over a ton and a half for a new caliper mount !

 

plan c - a run down to the local breakers (where I should have gone first of all really) only one minor snag, the audi is now immobile on axle stands, blocking me getting the mazda out of the garage. I stuck enough of it back together to gently move it off the drive using half a handbrake and rescued the trusty mx5. less than an hour later, I was on my way back from the breakers, a set of four sliders in my pocket for the bargainous sum of four earth pounds

 

with the right bits I got the job finished just in time to go to the pub and watch some rubbish football (I don't really like football but I do like beer, a lot)

 

top marks to the breakers in bonnybridge, for having the right bits available, for charging very reasonable prices and for generally being a bunch of nice friendly blokes plenty of shite in their yard too, photies next time I visit

 

Wish I could find a proper breakers like that, not been able to find one for years.

Got out of bed.

Found out Autoshite was down.

Went back to bed.

 

Repeated said process until Autoshite was back up.

I'm not sure what all that's got to do with anything but I will say that I'm very happy now that my flowerbeds are so beautifully defined.

I missed the whole downage, I am ashamed and apologise to anybody who feels an apology is needed ?

I slept through most of it due to gluten hit lethargy. Just putting GF against items on the menu is not enough. Wont be eating there again.
