Nightmare this weekend.

Drive up home on Friday 160miles round the corner from my parents house the brakes burst.

Luckily it didn't happen on any of the faster 2:30 of driving really!

Stepped on the brakes to avoid a car coming the other way not giving enough room for me and heard a pop and lost all braking force.

Brake fluid all over the drivers front wheel, limped it the 400meters home with the handbrake and now it's sat on my parents drive.

No jack to get it up and wheel off need to buy a new scissor jack.

Looked at getting it recovered by AA and the like but I needed to sign up £100 then the tow was only free for 50miles then £2-£5 a mile thereafter.

No chance, so I'm on the train home and It's now waiting till Wednesday evening to get couriered down to Chester where I can then look at it all and find out what let go :/

May be the opportune time to upgrade to the Clio brembos on the upside!

Bloody things.
