Found mine today i will NEVER ever do it again, 5 hours, 5 whole bloody hours to change the hand brake pads on a 91 XJS  (cue everyone telling me the easy way to do it)  And do you know the worst bit, when you actually look at an XJS H/B pad they look so innocent and tiddly you'd never beleive what a git they can be, a bit like your nephew that your sis drops off you look after for a few hours who grows horns and runs riot then adopts the look of an angle when mums in range  Here are the bleeders may they rot in hell ;D   Yes that is a Mk4 escort key to give you an idea of their size  |

Headlamp bulbs on most modern cars are hideous to change.
I'm finding that doing most jobs on my Renault 21 is a pain. Starter motor replacement was like keyhole surgery!

All things to do with brakes on minis. Will be starting a thread soon asking for help about this one.
[edit] Thought of another one, the exhaust 'C' clamps on VW's.
