    Another thing cars usually need to have done that OP may not be aware of is brake fluid renewal, usually every 2 years. It has safety implications as old brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air and loses it's efficiency.

    its a bit more dangerous than loosing efficiency.
    if your brake fluid absorbs moisture it means you think there is enough fluid in the resevoir,unfortunatly under hard to medium braking the water in the fluid will boil up,this will then cause your brakes to get worse the harder you use them.
    i.e. when you really need to use them they disappear sometimes completely.
    you will never notice this using them lightly for short periods but under heavy or motorway braking then you will.

    Hi Guys please try not use this company. I've heard & read some the reviews & they are not 100% Positive. A good friend bought a mirror, paid for it full. Nearly 2 weeks later he is still waiting for a mirror. The number is 0905 232 3000. It will cost you £1.00 per minute and when you call them asking for your order, they normally put the phone down on you. I don't know what kind of delivery service they use!!! But once you pay for car parts don't expect them to try & chase your order!! That problem will soley be down to you. Not too sure if the OFT has been informed yet.. Breakeryard are crooks.
    Be careful
