*Sat waiting with his overalls on for the postie to arrive so he can go fit his stupid brakes and make the deadline for today's MOT!*

DH - you suckers gave me no choice, if you all weren't so stupid and taught my stupid ass how to fix up my existing mech I'd be £60 better off right now :( Plus, if I'd given in on the first page, then I'd ruin my record of hitting 5+ pages on a single thread with a really straightforward answer :laugh:

Why did VW ever use a stupid Banjo fitting!
