MOT + Advisory
« on: 27 March 2008, 22:09:12 »
Got the Estate thro MOT ok last Saturday with an advisory - "worn" rubbers on centre part of exhaust!  Only £0.60 each on http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/exhausts_display.php?txtmodel=Omega&Submit=Next&txtmake=VAUXHALL but £7.50 carriage!!  Begrudge paying that amount of carriage on £1.20 parts.  
Anyone know Vx prices or WHY?

local saft fit place is the best bet, with a cash contribution to the fitters tea kitty.....

Rubbers are known as pigs noses in the trade, apparently....  ;)
