My neighbour is trying to change the discs on his mundano, but cannot remove
the second one.

Yesterday, with the aid of a bottle jack we got the first off.

Any tips for removing a very stuck one?

hmm, most people would think it suffice to add a little lucky white heather
to the radiator grille......obviously a whole embankment full didn't work
for you. you were lucky there too, could have been worse....the
mother-in-law could have been in the back seat

Or even worse, she could have been somewhere else. On the basis of ...

What do you call a busload of xxx* going over a cliff with one empty seat?
A waste.

After fighting the oversteer several times and resigning myself to either
being *very* lucky and staying on the road or hitting something I just
let it go. It wasn't until it started to roll that I thought "Oh ****,
this is going to hurt". Pleasantly surprised when it all stopped to find
myself not in agony, trapped or both. Just shows that a properly
fitted(*) seatbelt will hold you into your seat pretty effectively, just
remember that if you are upside down you head isn't designed to be landed
on, even from a coupl of inches.

(*) Lap belt as low down across your hips as possible and under thick
clothing. Diagonal belt across the center of your shoulder and all slack
removed.
