Fix the failures and take it back to the same place or it will fail on things that are on the advisory list  :rolleyes:

£336 later ------- 1 wheel clamp costing £260

AND ................

She passed her MOT!
Tax is on its way but until then shes sitting on my mates driveway so I dont get another wheel clamp
!!!!Bastards!!!
£260 for parking out side my front door on a side road! I only had to wait 1 more day and the car was going in for its repairs! (always the way)

turns out tracking was out completely out causing the old wheels to scrub the inner wheel arch! new CV boot, ABS sensors, 4 new tyres and 2 wheel nuts as the garage had to drill out 1 of my wheel nuts and 1 was already missing!

and a number plate light!

BROKE!!!!!! but she still passed! yey  :laugh:
