MOT Failure - first in 3 years...
« on: 14 December 2007, 10:35:16 »
Well it had to happen.

MV6 failed mot on brake pipe corrosion this morning. Otherwise no advisories.

Ive now put it through 3 mot`s and this is the first ive ever been had to fork out on it in 3 years, as MarkDTM always says preventative mechanics and servicing is the best way to keep your car on the road.

So ive decided to let my mates rates mechanic do the work, as i cant be bothered and dont have time at this time of year...

What sort of price am i looking at ? he charges me around £15 per hour.....
