Took the wreck in for it's yearly 'check-up' and lo and behold I needed a anti-roll bar link and a bulb!!! Which resulted in a total bill for £102.50...!
 (Incl MOT).Although not too bad considering it was clear last year, and the year before and only requiring a drop-link the year before that! Could have been worse I suppose...

Today I have fixed my reversing sensors, cruise control switch on my clutch paddle, replaced the wiring loom in my n/s rear light and also fitted a saloon tow bar to a tourer! All that needed "adapting" was a piece of 40x40 box for the towing eye bracket. Oh almost forgot I also fitted some projector headlamps as well!

I firmly believe that these places that do discounted MOT's get their money by other means and it ends up costing you more than the standard 50 quid in the end! I've taken all my cars here for the last 12 years and ALWAYS had good, fair service.

Locally 25 to 35 is the norm, they do not generally create work either..

If that is the case then you're very lucky to only pay that much!
I've been paying 50 for years!
