Ouch ...thats unforunate ...although not too bad.front brake pipes are relatively cheap to do if avoiding the garages.Drop links again relatively easy.Indicators couple of quid each at most...Front spring easyish I thinlk as long as you have decent spring compressors.!/2 decent diyer will sort most of it ..how long before the retest ?

Sorry it failed mate. Doesn't seem to drastic, more a pain in the bum.

Euro Car Parts had an offer on the drop links last week for sure as i got some myself If theres one near you.

Regards

Paul

thanks for the heads up about euro car parts paul just anquired at the local & ordered a pair they'll be here tomorrow,found a spring on ebay that should be here monday that just leaves the bulbs & brake pipes.
I've got 10 working days to do repairs & get it retested after that you have to pay the full test fee again nigeeb. Mick
