Well, got me truck back today, £297.00 green stuff lighter. turned out to be new front pads, resurface on the back what ever that is..and calipers unseized.

must admit, the difference in the the brakes is huge, for the better, so guess they were right..again...and got my MOT, which is not to bad as everyhting else is sound.

Resurface rear brakes :? lost me there, unless the have machined the discs, but at that price I would have expected new discs.

Sounds to me like the guy doesn't like Fronty's.
Was it the same garage as last year :?:
