No probs Drewpy, I understand.
If you had ever lived in Spain , especially Andalucia, you would understand how difficult it is to get things done. Especially when you only have one mode of transport and to leave it in a garage means that you don't know when it will get looked at or even if they will bother at all. All the while you have no means of transport.
Then when they do look at it you end up with "buy a new caliper" which costs the third of the bike. And to take it to another garage means more waiting around. To gove you an idea, the last bike I had, was in a garage 9 days before they even looked at it and I had to hire a car in the meantime, which isnt funny.
I went back to the garage yesterday to ask him if he could look at it again but no luck, says he already did it twice so tough luck.
