Post by: gibby on 01 June 2005, 22:23: nah, it's about a mk1 so it can stay. Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â :grin: It's nice when they pass their MOT and good luck with the repairs that you are doing. There's always something though, I had mine fully serviced yesterday and they found a worn steering ball joint that needed to be replaced and I needed new pads as well, not been given the bill yet so dont know how much. Considering it just cost me the price of the MOT to get it through in February I guess I'll be out of pocket again. Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â :cry:

Title: Re: finally passed its mot
Post by: eyeletboy on 01 June 2005, 22:38: all lowered.looking spot on. :smiley:it's quite a comfortable ride as well.well worth the coin.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£135 inc p&p and Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£50 to fit.the garage had bit of a problem getting the back shocks off as they were original and been on there so long.

Post by: gibby on 01 June 2005, 22:42: Good man. :grin: Yeah rides not too bad really and mines even better since I ditched the 185/55 tyres for 195/50s, they really made a difference too. :grin: Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£50 fitted is a bargain by the way, it cost me Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£80 and I thought I got mine done cheap, I guess I didn't. :undecided:
