Hi Lewis, as you are in year 10, (read in another thread) so unable to drive on the road yet, what does your car spend its time doing? Is it locked away only coming out for a polish until you are 17 or do you have a private airfield?

It sits on the drive and my Dad takes it to work a couple of times a week and we use it for trips ect. I have driven it a few times -not on the road though and I do Polish it a lot! For my 13th Birthday I did a young drive experience at Brands Hatch which was great except the car was a Clio!

I bet you are counting the days until you can take your test then and drive it, if you still have it then? Just a pain in the bottom for you that next year the driving test age is going up to 20. Only joking.

But there were 10 advisories

1.) o/s washer jet patially blocked
2.) o/s/f side light function impaired (Bulb dim)
3.) o/s/f tyre wearing low
4.) n/s/f tyre close to legal limit. inner edge worn.
5.) slight play in steering rack arms/knuckles
6.) rear bushes on front wishbone perishing
7.) Front break pads wearing low o/s
8.) Front break discs slightly worn/lipped
9.) Rear break discs slightly worn/corroded
10.) Rear tyres are slightly mis-shaped/steooed around the tread

That is quite a list and there are some expensive ones on there
