Danderton Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 My mate drove my car to the garage for me 2day for the MOT. And it failed. It needs a new sidelight, and a front wishbone The mot was £39. And i left the car in overnight, they are gonna fit the new wishbone 2moro for £80. And sort out the sidelight too. I was pretty chuffed with that cos my clutch is nearly gone, my handbrake needs replacing and my brakes are very worn, my electrics are screwed, and my rear seatbelts dont work. But luckily it looks like they didnt spot any of those probs Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk6 Si Ross Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Original ford ones are about 40 quid. thats what they cost me from Ford including VAT. i know Ford parts are the "propper" ones but replacement parts such as QH, Delco etc are exact replica`s and cost a fraction of the price.

sortedford Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 when you take the car back its surposed to be a compleate retest, no where does that tho, once i had a car failed on one tyre so i swapped it from the left side to the right and it passed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
