Swapped tyres front to back, noticed she had no pads left at the front, so slapped some in. Took it for a gentle tootle around for a few miles to bed the pads in a bit before Mrs TB goes up the M40 like a bat out of hell.

Yes - drive around to warm up, jack up and stand plug out dropped it down and out it comes - all with engine running. Hopefully too much ATF is not bad?
