Suprise suprise, required all brakes done,cv gaiter,handbarake cables, fuel lines etc cost 927+vat. idid ask if they realise the car was worth 300? lol then in true typical fashion they advised me that all tyres had only 5-6mm tread left on them in typically scary fashion! would i like new ones?? thank you kindly ill have my failed car back with full valet ta!

You should not panic Mate....I go to mine confident that nothing major will fail. I check around my motors on a regular basis and do jobs as and when required. When I turn up at the testing station I have a laugh with the guy and show no nerves. If you look worried then the guys will think something is wrong straight away. Be confident in your old girl Buddy but not cocky and things will be fine. What's the worst that could be wrong ??

couple of font abs sensors.
Some prick had cut the wires to them previously! nice! lol

im also a great believer in a clean car gets an easier time. i know it should be by the book but if ur motor looks well kept they wont go looking too hard??

Good result then....2 sensors are easy enough to change.
