Replaced a brake pad, and swapped all the wheels about again, to give TBE a better chance of passing an MOT.

Noticed that TBE has almost run out of read pads, so I need to get some ordered.

Hi guys , never agen, against my better judgement i had a go at changing the drivers central locking motor. Here the nitemare begins. What a fiddle to start droped the nut for the door handle inside the door cant get my arm in there enough, so tried with a long srewdriver and droped that to. In the meantime the door handle fell out and is now chiped to hell, needs a respray. Finally got my nut and srewdriver back by taking the speaker out . Put it all back together shut the door it looked fine i thought job done BUT. Would you belive it wont unlock with key the thingy wont pull up all other doors lock and unlock but not drivers. Now im f!!!!kd becoz it wont open to take a look i feel like crying . Haveing to open rear door and pull catch up doesnt seem so bad after all. Why did i touch it.  Frank spencer has got nothing on me  >:(  :-\
