Just found out our car has passed its MOT after about £400 worth of work!

It needed a new fuel pump in the end, so thats Exhaust and cat, Electrics, strut mount, wish bone arm and bushing and some welding to get it through this MOT, hate to see what next year will bring up...

Good morning all, wet and windy here today, no grass cutting for me today
Plenty of other jobs to do at home though

Well, at least you know the car's right and, for the work you've had done, it doesn't seem too expensive

We had to buy some parts up front, but our garage gave us a discount

I guess all in all it should have cost about £600 so we are lucky in that respect.
