So, I was up at 0800 this morning to finish the brake disc and pad replacement. Chucking it down with rain and blowing a gale still and it was still virtually dark.  

Since when have brake pads been handed?? i.e. different left side and right side?? Well they are for a 1998 Astra 'G'.

Once I had that sorted everything went on like a dream except for the water pouring from every surface and down the back of my coat.

Got everything put back together and decided to take the car for a SLOW brake test. Panic, I'd forgotten to pump the brake pedal before I set off so the pedal almost went to the floor.  

Great result, the car not only stops but also it stops in a straight line. Got back, put the car on the drive, cleared up, put all my tools away and, as if by magic, the sun came out. Still a bit blowy but it is now a beautiful day.  

The moral of this tale?

Get your MOT done in the summer and don't leave it until the day before it runs out before you get the test done.
