Just got on the M1 on the way back from fcs when my engine cut out so I had to pull over and hard shoulder and wait for the AA while watching everyone else go home...inc Fatboy :lol: . To cut a long story short the AA recovery truck bloke towed me off the motorway but did not put the handbrake all the way off...so when we finally stopped the rears discs were smoking badly and the wheels were as hot as ****! :x stupid twat! Will be ringing the AA up tomorrow to get them to pay for my new discs and pads I think. When "proper engineer" actually came along he found out that a wire had melted on my manifold causing a fuse to blow and cut the engine out...so it was a fairly easy fix!

Tried to ring them today m8, but as u said there nobody there at customer complaints on a bank holiday monday. Gonna take it to a garage and see what they say...but i'm pretty sure they are fooked now...will get them to fit some new ones cos I really hav'nt got the time and I can't be bothered! :lol: Took the willys off the afternoon for a clean, cos of the amount of brake dust that came of onto the brakes where they have been worn down so quickly.
