Car was pretty much faultless, used £80 of fuel, which isn't horrendous considering it's a GTi6... Well, it is, but for a janky petrol I suppose it's OK...
Got to outside my housemates work to pick up new discs and pads for it... Then it proceedes not to start. The negative terminal which is clamped on tight has just decided it doesn't want to work, so I then set about getting the pliers I dropped between the aircon and main radiator, managed to get them (bearing in mind I'd just done 200 miles in it back home, it was rather warm and being a petrol it decides to run at a billion degrees..), took it off, put it back on and it works.
Sometimes I just hate cheapy shit - cost saving measures which just make things worse... It's hardly like I've ever pissed about with the negative terminal... Any normal person would have had that problem and had to call out the AA...
