brakes!!!!!!! this reminds me about some bodge fuckers!!!!!

my girl friend had an mot in may and it passed all clear, new shock was all needed. there were no things they advised to change/fix soon.

any way she says her car was making a horrific grinding and squeaking when braking so i checked (this was a week ago).

the pads had no fucking friction material on on neither the front left or right! surely they should notice this? the car has only dont 700 miles since the mot.............
