OK, I know what you are all going to say, but it seemed very convenient to me to book my car in for MoT at my local Halfords.
After all James' work, I thought it would be a breeze...but no.
They failed it on 'Headlight aim too far to the right offside front". OK, maybe it was but it's passed two previous MoTs elsewhere and I can't see the beam moving about if not touched. Anyhow, now hopefully corrected.
BUT they also failed it on "Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak Offside Rear" and ditto nearside rear.
They quoted
£327.86 for the replacement of the two shock absorbers!
The last two MoTs have given advisories about light dusting of oil and I've done very little mileage in the last 2 years.
Anyhow, James once again came to the rescue.
He was appalled, as was I, since, when we had the wheels off there was no evidence of a "serious" leak. In fact, no evidence of a leak at all (see pics, if they upload).
I'll get it retested and hopefully get a pass. THEN...I shall hit the roof.
