I know it does, many people see and say...well whats different but if you know what a Driver looks like standard you can tell lol

I'm getting half leathers, black on the outsite of the seats (dark blue stitching) and the same blue on the inners! Got a pattern sorted out with blue a lighter blue and silver thread for the inners and doors cards too! Just finding the money at the minute!!!

Should I post the drawings first? Or wait till it's done.... hmmm :smug:

 :cry: Failed it's MOT...

Both rear registration plate lamps not working.

Nearside front to rear brake pipe excessively corroded.

Offside front to rear brake pipe excessively corroded.

Limiter valve to o/s/r brake pipe excessively corroded.

Offside front brake pipe excessively corroded.

Nearside front shock absorber has a serious fluid leak.

Nearside rear tyre has ply or cords exposed.

Rear service brake application uneven across the axle.

 Gay..was quoted:-

Brake lines - 60 pounds plus VAT x2
Front brake pipe - 40 pounds plus VAT

I will be taking it to a friend of mine to have the pipes fitted but can manage the rest myself lol

Still gutted though.... more pennies.

Shame it faied MOT, never mind so did mine on similar stuff. Nothing major tho. Know what you mean bout more money, seems like mines just eating away at my wallet!  :shocked:

Car is gettin retested tomorrow!

However ...I wondered what the limiter valve was that it failed on... Turns out my car doens't actually have a limiter valve.. Interesting.  And the guy who looked at my car today saids the brake lines wren't excessively corroded... He cleaned everything up and found the shocker wasn't leaking either. Don't take your car to boro tyres!!!

Getting it retested at a different garage and getting our money back from Boro Tyres...
