MOT fail

[Salty]

Well just got back from a failed mot  although not as bad as it could have been I suppose. Need new front discs, which are an item I think of as consumable so not too bad. Also needs a new steering idler which looks like a trip to the dealer and £60 trimmed from the wallet.
At least I know what I'm doing this weekend

Hard luck Salty But could've been a LOT worse

[Salty]

What I meant to ask is,
does anybody know if I get the idler for less elsewhere??

Your right there, at least they're fairly easy jobs to tackle.

Have you tried autovaux?

I always tried to keep an idler in garage, as common problem.  As others have said, nice and cheap from autovaux.

Well I've got the discs and will be doing them this morning if the weather is fine. Ordered the idler from autovaux so hopefully will have that tomorrow.

Its not GMs fault that your warped

Well got the discs done today in about an hour and a half . Idler arrived with the post so decided to do that as well, spent the rest of the day trying to split the old idler from steering arm without sucess will have to have a rethink, may have to take the whole steering linkage off.
