Fitted some rear pads to the Sh!troen as, unlike Mrs 944 I couldn't ignore the grinding noise

.
Anyone who thinks French cars are poorly designed needs to think again... There is no way you could make car components so arse achingly difficult to work with without some serious thought and a very clear design brief.

Took me over an hour and a half (a personal best/worst) to get it done, but that included the time needed to grind a 15mm spanner down to suitable thinness and a cup of tea to vent my frustrations.
In other news, I bought the pads from Eurocr@p parts. Price was reasonable, staff were helpful, and they were the right parts

. I think this is the most surprising thing to have happened to me so far this year
