[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1070663, member: 176704"] No "relaxation" for me today - spent several hours replacing a droplink on the front of the car (did the other one yesterday - that was one of the reasons it failed the MoT a few days ago :oops:). Right pig of a job as I had to cut off both the balljoints on each link with angle grinders (big one, and that little 12V Lidl one I got last year, and very useful it was too!) in very confined spaces because all the nuts were seized solid. And then remove, lubricate back of, and then replace the brake pads - a rivet on the back of which protruded too far and caused screechs at low speeds ( I could see the witness marks on the back of that rivet!) What a filthy job on a lovely warm day like this - and I was filthly as well after all that.:oops: [/QUOTE]
