Reminds me of hopping into Mum’s car after several months of not being in it to hear the distinctive grinding metal sound of a bearing on its last legs - asked Mum and my sister when the car started making that noise and got told it always does that…
Ah this was me when I bought my first car… It was super cheap though. But it had just passed the EU control, so I thought it was safe to drive.
Anyway, when I was driving my niece, and her friend, the fucking break disk rusted lose! I drove them fucking carefully to the train, and carefully drove home.
I called my nieces father and confessed, and I asked him how to replace the breaks. He had never done it before, but he’s the kind of guy who reads something once and he remembers it. Anyway I drove to a shop and bought new break disks and pads, and some tools, and drove fucking carefully home.
It took me 3 days to change the breaks, mainly because of the rust, I got a neighbor to help push the break piston back in, as the tool I bought was to weak.
To top it of, I have either fibriomyalgia or rheumatism, and my fingers hurt for weeks after, even though it was the middle of the summer.
The back breaks needs to be changed now. But I can’t do it in the winter, I can’t change the breaks in the back when it’s below zero outside. Wife just wants to buy a new (used) car, but our budget, due to needing a 6, 7 or 8 seater, would give us the same age, same length driven car. And we need to cars…
