Glad to hear it.
Hazels 1987 Audi 80 goes in on Friday. Did the o/s outer CV boot last week so hoping there's nothing else.

Thanks for wishing me luck, unfortunately it failed  :'(
Funny old thing, (ditto) rear n/s wheel bearing, front brake caliper binding and n/s anti-roll bar tie rod bushes. Couple of other minor things but nothing too worrying and I've got 14 days for a free retest.
Parts are already on order from Staurt (Eurocarparts).

When I brought my car the guy done a dodgy MOT on it.

Cracked/ illegal numberplates, chipped window, car was too low for the MOT ramps, dodgy tires, water in the main lights, crack in the exhaust, burst shocks, chips in the wind screen.

WASNT HAPPY >:(

I got mine end of the month. I'm pretty confident it'll pass once I wire the fog light back up again.
