Didn't fail on the caliper which is strange as the hand brake is very slow to release, front pads and discs were an advisory.

It did fail on the horn
and RUST in the drivers wheel arch, I think I should laugh about this after my previous post, but I do have the MIG welder and 2 terms of C&G welding under my belt.......

It also went down on insecure exhaust (apparently a temp fix of cable ties isn't acceptable - LOL) and a leaking exhaust which is probably linked to the missing rubbers.

The last advisory was "coating on headlights but does not effect beam pattern". This is actually the usual UV damage they suffer from.
