failed MOT..

What a nightmare. My car failed its MOT on a LONG list of things, brakes, oil tank, coils, springs, suspension, front bush arm or something. Kinda stopped listening after that.

Anyway, it would cost £350.00 to put it all right. The car is only worth about £300.00! So I will have to let it go to the big scapyard in the sky...

Aww poor car! Must admit when I was told the front bush had gone on my old car I thought he meant there was a tree under my car!

Goodluck in finding a new replacement.

I just spent way more on my car than it's actually worth, because apart from what went wrong with it (Snapped clutch cable, also needed new clutch, service and brake pads. Just over 500 quids!) it's very reliable. I asked the guy at the garage if he thought it was worth repairing. The way he put it to me is that I could spend a few grand on a newer car to find it's as reliable as a chocolate fireguard!... Good luck whatever you do. Damn cars eh?
