me sadly. Curently I am trying to fix a megane.

Simple job replace the pads and gearbox mount.

Snapped 5 wheel bolts.

The thign is the car had a new tyre put on monday there. So the bolts shoudl have came off. Well every one snapped. According to them its not their problem and its not their responsibility to torque the bolts properly or add grease to them!

tryign to get a hub flang. No joy, looks liek I willhave to use a 19's flange and stick in a new bearing.

Unless anyone has a hub that can be sent pronto like tomorrow.

The gangsta's.

Well i manange dto successfully remove the broken wheel bolt and stuck int he new pads and the gearbox mount. What an effort.

Still she got a bargain 40 quid. She was quoted 50 quid to remove the wheel bolts only!

I try to make a living out of fixing cars but its hard with no premises. I am going to look into premises, george migth be going in with me depending on the figures etc.

We had a look at an ideal place but I need more detail on it.
