The car was bought from a very nice young primary school teacher, pretty clear she knew nothing about cars so she must be paying somebody to do the repairs/service. One of the fails on the MOT was N/S handbrake inoperative, so expected broken cable, seized calliper standard stuff. But when I this morning, it was because the cowboys who had put a brand new calliper, cable & pads on the O/S had not touched the N/S & left the old pads in there. One pad was broken in 2 & the other almost to the metal.



I know it's nothing to do with me but I'll be ringing her Monday to let her know she ought to find another garage.
