It has been a busy week and-a-bit: The Leon’s brakes unexpectedly started making nasty grindy noises- the back ones (I’ve never replaced a set of rear pads before), so that got a visit to the nice people at Midland VW, the Lupo’s front brakes needed a stripdown and clean after just managing an MOT pass, the Leon gained a puncture, probably thanks to the careless buliders at work, and finally, I’ve finished an annual(ish) service on the Lupo. It’s not even over then: the Leon is due a service (so back to Midland VW) and an MOT. Altogether that’s meant a few drives to work in the Lupo (that third pedal and wibbly stick thing is so quaint), a bit of spannering, and a bit of handing over money.
