I have feeling that the golf will need a few bits and pieces done next year. Although once I get the rear pads done in the next few days that should be pads and discs all round sorted. Then it will need a full service probably February which I think I will just do that myself. Will need two tyres in March I'd say. I want to get the gearbox oil and brake fluid changed too I think ill head to george to get that done. I don't know is brake fluid expensive to get changed ?

You can do it all yourself(other than changing tyres)! And looking up how will increase your understanding of cars obviously.

I had a thread about the gearbox oil and it would work out more expensive to do it myself as the oil is expensive to buy in 1 litre bottles and an independent garage that buys in bulk can do it cheaper. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing brake fluid it's grand until you bleed it wrong and end in a ditch. I am happy enough to do full service myself, electrical stuff and doing bits with body panels but I wouldn't go much further than that. In a few years I will eventually buy a cheap banger and take it to bits that's probably the best way to learn.

I've tried several times to bleed brakes on a mountain bike. Could never manage to get all the air out or do it without bolli**in a seal. Would rather not on the car!

I really can't afford to crash my car over brake failure tbh. Ah 50 quid sounds grand to get a mechanic to too it. I will probably get it done with the gearbox oil. I'll wait till April though I'll be on placement and loaded by then :pac:

You won't have brake failure from not changing it!

No but what I mean is if I attempted to change it myself and didn't blead it correctly it could be dangerous hence why it not something I'd be mad about trying.

Oh I get you now had to read it a few times for some reason I thought you said you fixed the stuff yourself but said you leave it to the professionals but get you now. Tbh I'm cautious enough what I go at and know my limits. Still it's nice to be able to do the basics rather than having to bring it to a mechanic everytime for every little thing.

Best of luck in 2015 dudes!
