Hi all, well the baby passed her MOT,still only averaging 4000 miles between each one smile No problems at all which was a relief, had her serviced at same time. The only thing is that I mentioned the old "Brake squeel" Mechanic reckons its the rear discs need changing?? Could this be the cause? They do look pretty rusy etc on the edges. If so where is the best place to get a pair?? Cheaply lol Thanks

They rust due to lack of use laugh I would get new pads as the same time as they are less than £20 for a set

Its probably better to phone them to order parts, usually a next day delivery.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

It could well be your fronts! But if your rears need doing then I guess its worth changing them anyhow.

Its deffo the rear as it stops if you slightly apply the handbrake whilst moving. I have heard that this is a common prob with the coop (amongst others lol) I will give it a go soon. Thanks
