Ill just ask the kids to do them in future, thanks for the great advice. Instead of a jack, would their lego be ok , would it be safe enough or should they use mechano ?

I hope they know how to spell disc? Unlike you, Which you constantly misspell it.

Also no problem glad my great advise was grateful.

If you're going to have a spelling rant, at least include "mechano"...

well , what right did halfords have to remove wheels , oil and filter change does not involve that , nor are they allowed to on an MOT

now you mention halfords , its obvious they were touting for work

You do realise you can get to the brakes very easily either from behind the wheel or through the spokes in the wheels from the front. Not exactly rocket science to put a set of calipers or a micrometer on a disc to measure it.

I wonder why is there a customer demand for garages then and vocational qualifications for fitters and mechanics? Ill just ask the kids to do them in future, thanks for the great advice. Instead of a jack, would their lego be ok , would it be safe enough or should they use mechano ?

Why the sarcasm? the post was correct, A DIY mechanic can carry that sort of work out on the drive, 2hrs generous id be annoyed if I hadn't the kettle on in an hour......


Most don't carry out simple tasks because they ether cant be bothered, or as I suspect they weren't bought up in the generation where you helped dad fix his car at the weekend (as cars from the 60 and 70s always needed repairs) and don't know one end of a spanner from another.
