cant you do better than that?


I can, but, I only want my brake pads doing I don't want to marry any of them :roll:

I've somebody to do the pads that cost me £30 for the pads and the fluttering of the eyelashes worked I just have to pin him down to what day they'll be done :D

The Pug dealer can't do the sensor until the 16th ffs :shock:

Just need to get the bulb changed now and I'm sure if I smile sweetly the guy doing the pads will change the bulb too :D


you wily sexy flutterer you...

BTW, dont know which pug youve got BUT, being part of the PSA group means they rebadge some models, my S.hitroen was actually built by F**T, and pug also sold a rebadged version, this the interesting bit, the same part (common to all 3) was priced different by all 3, so if you need to buy a part, shop around.

For pads, etc id try to use a decent motor factor (halfords as a last resort)

I try...... :wink:

Thanks wannabee for the advice. I have a 407 Zenith. I'm not particularly worried about the cost for the sensor as I won't be paying for it cos I never broke it. I think the manager at the tyre place is going to be a bit pi$$ed off though cos it's been estimated at £140.00 :shock:

Thanks Doom I'll keep that in mind if I need parts. I got the brake pads for £30 don't know if that's a good price or not. I fluttered my eyelashes and got one of the lads to put them on and that cost me a cup of coffee so I think that was a damn good deal. I think cos it was so hot today the fluttering of my eyelashes must have cooled him down so that's why he did them for me :D
