Oh come on. I am not paying them for their fire jumping expertise. I am paying them for their knowledge on how to best service my car

I know, I am just playing.......I understand why you would listen to everything they say, because they are supposed to know best(but I wonder about that sometimes)

You can wonder all you like but that is the reason you go to an authorised garage.

Seriously loving it. Never realised how much time could be wasted looking for apps and customising the phone and related apps

I bought some bananas for myself and a bag of jellybabies for my family to eat during their road trip.

My car still has the original disks on it, but I do need to start thinking about skimming them as there is a slight lip forming around the edge of the disks.

When I had trouble with my brakes and the disks, I went to Alfa directly (they manufacture brakes, disks, the lot - not at all affiliated with Alfa Romeo). There is nothing wrong with skimming a disk. It is acceptable and there is no risk to you. As long as you're above the minimum, you'll be fine.

Much cheaper than replacing disks.

Just know that if you skim and they happen to warp, then there is some sort of underlying problem. I talk from experience!

I am totally materialistic when it comes to my car - I love her. She gets only the best (while I can still afford it). I drive long distances and I often have the tribblets with me. If the Renault dealer says I should replace them - I will replace them. Rather gullible than sorry.

NRG - the stuff is vile but I do feel more awake on it. (and a whole lot of other stuffs)

You listen to what the dealers say? They must see you coming a mile away.

Skimmed the discs on my previous Audi at about 170,000km's, no problems at all afterwards.
