I've spend 800 euros just for "even think about" passing MOT. Plus four summer tyres, but she's worthy.....

True, that is the dilemma we have with swmbo estate, great body and general condition 1998 so worth 2d, and going to need all new discs and pads for MOT in September, which I accept are service items, but..... :-/ :-/ :-/

Don't forget, AndyC at Drive Vauxhall is still offering 10% off TC prices on complete disc/pad kits. Makes them very reasonable indeed!  8-)

That link is not working.....

I have looked at that Andy, but, when we had a problem a couple of years ago the auto electrician had forgotten to re connect something behind the dash, when pointed out he had is sorted in absolutely no time at all, so there must be a faster way, although I accept he knew what he was doing..... :-/ :-/
