Might wait and see what the MOT ends up costing and then see how much he'd charge for it. Is there any contact details in the traders section at all? How much did he charge you, if you don't mind me asking?
Had a check of the rear brakes tonight, and I think the rear offside one is binding, might have to look at sorting that....
Fitted new Bosch wipers, old ones were shot, and used an air-con bomb however it left a runny mess over the hard back of the passenger seat and I am now struggling to clean it, most annoyed!

Failed it's MOT on the rear driver side calliper binding and rear driver side I think brake pipe corroded, that will cost around £300 including the MOT to fix!
Not to mention the noise, they think it is the cambelt tensioner making the noise, but the whole kit was changed in Aug last year but 2.5 hours away in Suffolk, going to need that looked at too! Damn!

Ok, so update time.
The car is coming home from the garage as they told me the price to fix it for the MOT and I may have laughed, then asked 'Really?' - £772 I think she said.....
So I am fixing it myself.
In other news I will now start patrolling the parts for sale, ebay and other websites for some parts. Anyone got an entire brake pipe, rear offside? Calliper, rear offside? Discs and pads, guess which ones? Alternator repair kit?
Lol - Busy weekend then! Might not make it to the meet.....

It would be easier just to splice into the brake pipe and replace the corroded section using either compression fittings or get a pipe flaring tool.

I got new sliders from Rimmers, think it was, sorted out the binding O/S/R caliper.
Having a laugh at that price, I reckon.
