Cause of the trouble

Stuck in the snow, Birmingham view map

I have had a very "interesting" day driving the artic today on the frozen compacted snow and ice. Not made any the easier by the fact that the front axle brakes were binding. This picture of the glowing red hot brake disc was taken after the mechanic had been out, slackened off the brakes and disconnected the ABS sensors from the front axle. BTW the truck was MOT'd 48 hours previously.


other sizes: small medium large auto

Now then Derek, was your journey really necessary.
Is this government for real.
Do they really think we go driving in this for fun.
Make sure that journey was on your expense sheet.

Look at the plus side - a great place to warm your hands in this cold weather ;-)
