....my first breakdown in the coupe after more than 8 years of ownership!

click to enlarge

Not even a proper breakdown - had the rear pads/discs/hoses changed by a local garage on Thursday and felt the brake pedal going spongy on the way home from work this evening. Stopped and saw brake fluid leaking out of the compensator at the rear.

Rather odd, but there is also a leak from the front drivers wheel, but I've no idea why confused

Anyway, Flux Rescue to the rescue - with me within the hour and the recovery chap was really helpful, making sure my car didnt ground when being winched on (got the usual "wont be a problem, I've had Ferraries on here" and yet my bumper would have been mashed without a couple of planks of wood!)

Will be round the garage asking them to remedy their mess tomorrow morning evil

It is hard to understand how a cemetery can raise burial rates and blame it on the cost of living
