Dreaded MOT!!

[Wayne]

Good luck

when mine went i asked at vw how much it was for the whole pannel. £120 or somewere in that region i remember them being, but can proberbly get them half the price off ebay ect.

I paid less than £80 for one from VW a couple of years ago so that's some price increase if they're that much now!

Car Failed 

2 Front tyres which I knew about, one cv joint, a slight binding on one of the rear brakes and one headlight is knackered. £400's worth 

Anyway all being sorted today. My question is this, A new headlight is going to set me back £60ish from the garage. Would it be worth me then buying the Depo set that Purely Vag has for sale on here and then selling my standard ones? How much could I possibly sell my standard lights for and would they be easy to shift?

£400 sounds steep to me for the work being under taken..

[Adam]

What light you after mate?

[mowlamb]

All done now mate, it was the passenger headlight I had replaced.

The bill was as follows:

Headlight £65
Brake Pad £25
CV Joint £15
2 Tyres £90

Total: £195 + £160 labour +£45 for the actual MOT

Grand Total was £462. It's all done now and I need not worry for a while. But I'm gunna learn how to do some of the simpler stuff myself so if stuff like this happens again maybe I can do some of it instead.

Jeezzz man that was an expensive day for you lol

[mowlamb]

Hell yeah, could have got a Depo set of headlight off Purely for £20 more than I paid for the one headlight. Forgot he was selling them till 2 hrs after I told the garage to do the work.
