Race Estate Fails its MOT

[Eeyore]

That quote is to fix everything including advisories, a lot of which is fairly labour intensive. Believe it or not we're one of the cheapest garages in the area too... :/

I've to agree with Vaughan tbh, Sam, that radius arm didnt even need a leverage bar on it to see the play. If you thought that wasn't bad, then what could be on the 1.8 that you think is fine... No offence meant to yourself, I suspect you think the same looking at my computer, but that's because you know computers where I only know enough to get by. Do you see what i'm saying?

yeh its all fair mate. Im not complaining that things are too expensive or anything. Its not even about the money its about the time. I cant leave it down here for a week for a new beam because I need to get home and to London etc. x

Go home at the weekend and rob the shit out of the 1.8 for the parts the estate needs?

But really sam if your ineed of a car that badly. You should have done this 3-4 weeks ago to give your self time before it runs out. I do this and really i dont need a car, could get by without one

tbh I wasnt expecting it to pass and i knew it had problems. I knew the rear brakes were crap so had replacements to go on. Knew the air bag warning light was on so got resistors off cully. I just didnt realise the rear beam was so shocking. I was trying to get it done last weekend but garage was fully booked.

The 1.8 has nothing wrong with it. It needs the centre console putting back in. Exhaust hanging and brakes bleeding. The beam hasnt had any problems before and it hasnt had much use since its last MOT! I know that logic isnt great.

I've still got Toms axle that came off his china estate that you can have for the price I bought it of him.

Where about in London are you?

Might get there eventually but I think I am going to focus on the 1.8 for now! How much was it anyway?

The 1.8 is in much better condition than the estate. Its just that the estate is bigger, more powerful and gets more MPGssss.
