U lucky git!!! The MOT ppl over here(yes we have ppl who do nothin but mot cars in proper test centres in northern ireland) are strict as fcuk!! I havent put mine through yet but had a quick grope around underneath her and all i can c is a dodgy track-rod-end on the drivers side!! Which is goin to cost me a massive £11 plus my own time for fitting it!!

Don't forget the water pump as well.

what change the water pump????

i wont bother, its running temp is fine, and i change the coolant often, enough, its only done 72k anyway so it shouldnt be fubar yet

It's one of those things u just change when you do your cambelt as it's v little extra work (if any) and doesn't cost much...
They have similar life spans to cambelts apparently!

wel i told him if he thinks it needs doing then do it, i have to keep the car now anyway as im going to be moving out in august more than likely so i need to save up ,

the steering seems to be rattlign a little bit again already, im really losing my temper, im looking at some OZ supperlega's or whatever they are, just to see what they look like on the car, they are 15" with good tyres for 300 , seems a bit steep to me

Far to steep for a set of 15"s!! They wud need to be new tyres for that doh-ray-me!!!

I paid £100 for my 15"s with good tyres!!

OZ superleggeras are quite expensive wheels.....£300, imo, seems a pretty good price if they are in good condition and well worth it

....but i would say that as i have them on my car
