Got motorbike trailer out.
Checked lights
Rewired trailer and fitted a number plate holder and light
Fetched quad to use as spares for the kids one.
Lights still worked when I got home, first time ever in about 15 years I've achieved that!

Except when you have the S with the alloy calipers that have steel inserts where the pads sit. They corrode underneath and makes a simple job like this take hours getting the steel plates off and cleaning them up so the pads move easily
