I always thought I'd be a grown up when I grew up

My lovely car, having grown up in the North East and being 7 years old, ha rusty rear brake discs. They still worked, well enough to pass its MOT, but they made a nasty grinding noise. I took it in to have its puncture & boot light fixed on Friday, and told them about this. Unfortunately, discs aren't covered by the warranty as they're expected to be a consumable component.

5 minutes later, Evans Halshaw Stockport Fiat had agreed to replace them completely free of charge. And have done, this afternoon.

That's £220 parts plus labour, plus VAT. All charged to their "pre-sales preparation" code, as a gesture of customer goodwill.

Ok, I think there's something not quite right still - now when I'm *not* braking there's a strange noise - but it feels as if that'll settle down as the brakes bed in. And even so - I Win :)
