well done! Mine is due soon but my horn don't work coz I've had probs wi the alarm. It goes off when I turn the wheel or if I shut the doors.

How much did the mot cost?

Hazels just taken her Audi for its retest (4.30pm), should be OK now.........replaced everything they snagged.
?40.75 for the MOT but that does include a 14 day free retest which is why I use them. There are cheaper deals around but I like the free retest.

yeah thats quite good. The cheapest I have seen is ?25 but I'd like to spend a bit extra and have piece of mind that they've put it thru propely if that makes any sense.

Oh they certainly do a good job..........he didn't miss a thing. Thought he was a bit too fussy to be honest, perhaps some of it could have gone as advisories. But I would have had to do it for next year anyway so can't really argue.

Mark did the test and showed me all the areas that get checked and how it all works so I learnt something too.
