    Buying track car and engine life

    Private car > Company car > Private car... any company keep the NCB running?

    Yes, not sure they apply all the reduction but some company's definitely take into consideration driving company vehicles. I had a company vehicle for about 10 years, altho they didn't apply a full reduction

    Squeaky brakes

    my new (cheap) pads on existing front discs squeak a little bit on mine too. Was careful putting them on last November and used copper slip as the utube video illustrated, But at a certain pressure there is a small squeak and only goes when used a fair few miles to be honest idea is to upgrade...
