Thing is though, while the seller is obviously a comedy legend among eBay visitors, it is entirely possible to change the colour of your discs.Here's what you do:
Take one lovely Volvo 142S that's had its pads removed pending the fitting of a fresh set. Don't tell your tutor that you didn't fit them yet, but replace the wheels so that the car could be moved temporarily. Finally, shriek with shameful joy at the language being used by the tutor in question, who'd decided to take his car, obviously all done as the wheels were on, down into Leith from the city centre via the thoroughfare famously known as Leith Walk, which equally famously is a downhill bit of road that might only be half a mile long but feels like more when the car has no pads in its front calipers. Praise Volvo for their foresight in splitting the circuits in each caliper, which definitely prolonged the agony.
Realise that the car has stopped without needing to drive it at a solid object and then, best of all, look at the discs and be glad that they're now that lovely shade of blue (front pair) and straw (rear pair). It's amazing how much fluid a 21mm master cylinder can move when you pump hard enough to prevent its bottoming!
Some would say that bottoming would have been a suitable punishment for the student who didn't leave a post it on the wheel to advise of his pause, some would say that the staff member who didn't check for himself was just as bad?
Conclusion:
Anyone who changes the colour of their discs should be bottomed for a whole week and only set free again when they've eaten a light bulb..
