I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

just had mine back from jbs, needs new bushes all round, new steering rack, new dv, leaking coolant, new exhaust, cam cover leaking, new front disks and pads. not kidding i had an a4 page full. bad times  :sad:

but places like JBS u expect they find huge list of faults just like the dealers .... if u go places like specialists or similar u most prob get an ADVISORY on it or they tell u how long tit will last before it needs to be change !

Thought JBS was classed as a vag specialist?
