Nope, not a clue! I recently changed the brake pads and it took me hours and I had to involve 4 other people AND call my mechanic mate in Sussex.
Catastrophic failure!

So having it serviced once a year and Mot'd once a year, 6 months apart is being ignorant?
Hmmm..................
I think the point here is that the mechanic I used was a shark, the one I have now is a good one, and since its in having the work done I'm not sure why the hell I am getting the sanctimonious replies, but cheers guys.................
so you admit to being a mechanical numpty yet you've been changing pads
it's getting worse
Oh I can read, I am just NOT MECHANICALLY MINDED!
rearange these letters................... WTAT

bluedog dont worry about it.If members on here wanna encourage another gresham let them, just dont let it be you.You pay to get it fixed cos you dont know wot ya doing, stands to reason to me!
The irony of this post is that Sean then tells me that if I am not mechanically minded I should not touch the car, which is what I did, I trusted a mechanic, and he stung me........

Bit contadictory there sean.Gresham did stuff himself and thought he was right.Bluedog knows he dont know wot hes doing and gets it fixed by a "profesional".
Yeah thats what I have done, cheers, and the guy who is doing the work keeps me regularly updated and comes really highly recommended, the last one was a friend of a friend.
but doing his own pads is ok then ?
knowing that you have no mechanical knowledge, yet still carrying out works that could result in serious accident, while knowing full well that the vehicle is worked hard and pulls heavy loads is nothing short of stupidity
at least he's using a mechanic now

well i think the lesson learnt is keep a closer eye on it, if in doubt get it checked out.
your words below
"I recently changed the brake pads and it took me hours and I had to involve 4 other people AND call my mechanic mate in Sussex."
i you think you can come on here and say stupid things and admit to having driven a dangerous vehicle, and then not get some flac in return - your on the wrong forum
If you want I can tye a few more things and you can quote them out of context, that way people will read your posts and think............ "Oh Sean, what a man you are, you showed him!"
OR..................
You could leave me alone and run along and play with someone else.
Now if you have any more sanctimonious rubbish to spout I can direct you to a site that would love to hear from you............. Idon'tgiveacrap.com
ah bless ......
ok lets start over - in an ideal world what would have been a more pleasing response to your OP ?

I dont care if you are not mechanically minded - anyone should be able to check for....
shocks - one wasn't even bloody attached FFS!
Passenger door couldn't be opened,
front tyres thread,
I understand you may not be competent with a spanner, but surely you can tell if a shock is waving in the air, a door wont OPEN FFS! and tyre wear?
everyone may suffer occasionally from a headlight mis-aligned - or one shock that weeps a bit, but that list shows a blatant disregard for your safety, your passengers and that of other road users.
