Pre drilling holes and countersink went through a couple of them aswell. Wise to it now so I put money on to cover 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavross 15,595 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Thought I’d put my van in for a service and front pads and discs, they wanted £360, sod that, done it myself in an hour and a half for £105, that says to me that they think they are worth about £150 an hour, I might go back to being a mechanic 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
