And the result on the car is........

I'm a heavy footed git behind the wheel it seems.

The annoying squeak, diagnosed by the mechanic at National tyres as the wheel bearings going was removed completely when the lovely people at Dudley Motors changed the brake pads.
They were, it transpires, quite worn.
(Cue snorts of derision from Louise as she points out yet again that I'm not actually meant to stamp on the brakes like that after all)

Still, a nice way to spend £100.

So this means I'm due at least one more disaster this month to eat up the other £100 of I-pod money.
