hadyn Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi all, My mechanic has let me down at the last minute to do a brake disc, brake pad and brake fluid change and oil+filter on my j spec tt. Dont suppose anyone in the Wolverhampton area fancies doing this job for me do they? I will of course pay... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 are brakes an obvious place to start DIYing on your motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 are brakes an obvious place to start DIYing on your motor? Depends if they need doing and at short notice. Seriously though, why not, unless you're the type to either break something in the process or just convince yourself you've done it right then only realise you haven't when the tree comes through the windscreen. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 If you haven't done anything like this before you just need a little common sense, a manual and and obviously some tools. That's providing that nothing is seized and then a little past experience is helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
