It's not really luck, it's more wear on wearing items!
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

So you expect a calliper to fail at 77k miles  :undecided: or a manifold to crack??

was the manifold cracked or leaking from the shaft? calipers corrode in our wonderful weather, unfortunately its a case of sh!t happens when it comes to bleed nipples breaking. you can be as gentle as you like working it in and out with plus gas but when they're gonna snap they're gonna snap :undecided:

Dont think the MK4 hit me for a £900 bill in one go mind; well apart from the clutch but you expect that to need replacing.........

Defiantly time to sell it then...
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Crazy that. My cars 14 years old and callipers etc are all fine changed the handbrake cables and some more bushes, but that's about it really. Newer car reliability is shocking!
