   Aberdeen Volks Centre in Kingswells did a good job on my Transporter last month.

   My folks use the garage next to Peterculter Football club. Seem pretty reasonable and 'honest'. There is also a good guy called Alan who has a garage by Drumoak who did some work on my MG who is reasonable.

   Give me a couple of minutes and I'll find the numbers.

   Just looked at the price of parts and friends have the rewind tool

   Think ill do it my self - pads are about 50 quid and 20 odd quid a disk

   Can just see the garage bill now - makes it worth retrieving my tools !

   For the cost of replacing the brakes on the golf i could completely rebuild the brake system on my land rover gah
