So recently my car had its mot and failed on a few bits.
But that's not the sting, the parts that failed where all swapped for parts with a guy off here ( no names) so that's f*cked me over.
The garage who tested it first then couldn't fit me in again until after my retest deadline, so would pay again and they wouldn't use parts I supplied. Fuming.
So I take it to a mates new garage and it fails even more!
I literally can't be f*cked with it anymore.
So consider this a pre- breaking thread.
Car has;
Ph3 front bumper in diablo
Half leathers
Black roof liner
4 spoke leather wheel
Bosch pump lines and injectors
40 km spas springs
Vale crystals
There is more but I'm not in mood right now

I'm dreading MOT time coming round, sure mine will need a couple things, most notably welding :/

Dec, get a list of all the stuff that needs doing and see if its stuff you could do?? Takes away the labour atleast, and I know you already have some parts! I'd come give you a hand if you didnt live so far away!

Why does everyone just decide to scrap / break a car as soon as it fails MOT / goes slightly wrong these days...you know its still normally worth more as a complete car....you can fail 306 on 3 pages, and still fix it for couple hundred quid normally if you man up and do it yourself...
At least copy the fail list on here so people can advise...it cant be that bad...

Fail list required. I'm so down for a fixing session.
Also, you need to experience Jake's car and then drive a hdi to compare, you may like it but I would honestly either fox yours or get another xud.
Gimme a text if you want, luvva x

srowell makes a point. Some garages are so strict on their mots just so they can earn money out of people!
Fix it you faggot. Dan knows about engines so thats fine, suspension is very easy to fix, only other thing can be brakes which are quite cheap and rust which can be a pain
