It may be heading back home.

As usual, the ol' motor failed her MOT so the Wallet's in for a bit of a bashing. Indeed, it's already had one so is wandering about, stunned.

However, the bashing the Wallet's had is nothing compared to what the car's gonna get! : :evil:

Praise the lord and pass a bigger hammer! :twisted:

Both.....

As I type this, car is awaiting a road test.

After dismantling the whole handbrake system and squeezing my big, hairy paw between the heat shield and car floor, I found that it needed slack in the system taken up via a screw adjuster on the wheelhub.

Doh!!!! :oops:
