They do tend to do this I believe. I put my car in for its MOT (an annual safety check required by law in UK) and failed on 'unbalanced front brakes'. The garage then put it right, since when the brakes have not worked so well and now squeak to buggery (as they say in my neck of the woods). Incidently, I would just like to crow about the fact that it cost just 40 pounds to get my 85 900i through its MOT :-) And I am a complete non-mechanic. best, Pete -- Peter Thompson Computer Manager Emmanuel College Cambridge
