[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I'm proud of the work I did on Mrs Opti's beloved Corsa this afternoon. Without too many problems, I changed both the pads and discs, using genuine GM parts (£65)

Vauxhall wanted 90 minutes labour to do the job. That's £108 alone 

Pat on the back for Mr Opti I think, as I'm just about the most inept mechanic in the whole of the UK

Why? What was wrong with the old ones

Seriously though, jobs (and savings like that) make for most satisfying afternoons

Well done Mr Opti  Too right-you should be proud of yourself

Thanks, Mr Symes.

The caliper bolts were s*** tight.

Agreed, TD.........Large amounts of expletives followed by that nice warm feeling.

Well done that man and a good saving.

Satisfaction knowing you have done the job yourself and certainly better than most garages would have done.

It is the knowing YOU fixed it which is good , pads and discs can be horrible well done

And probably dancing around the room with Mrs Opti's million pound life insurance cert

There was this strange coloured fluid leaking everywhere but I took no notice.
