Broken quarter light

as there's no sharp bits which could cause injury then it wouldn't be deemed an mot failure.

No

Thanks guys. I'll get it booked in. Anyone know of any special offers ? I usually take it to Nationwide Autocentres - passed first time last 2 years, and its an old car (Pug 205).

your find a few offers but best to ring around, there a few stations left still using the old written paperwork method, which they tend to cut the price, we charge the full £44.15 since the introduction of the new computerised system, it really has tightened everything up & from a personal view, its hell of a lot better.

'm taking my car in for its first MOT tomorrow morning. The appointmentwas arranged entirely on-line last week.

To Kwik-Fit?

More fool you. Don't forget to take your credit cards...

It's bound to fail. You'll need new disks and pads all round, cos they couldn't possibly let you drive it out like that sir, it's lethal. Oh, and 4 new dampers too. Springs maybe?

cancel it now and take it somewhere else. Doesn't matter where. Anywhere.

Gawd, its gone up again from £42.10 last year to £44.15.

Looks like I'm gonna use my Tesco Clubcard vouchers at Nationwide. £5 off with the clubcard = £39.15 paid for with £10 worth of vouchers exchanged for Nationwide tokens.

33% off for AA members, but I'm not one.

The message from Adrian contains these words:

I took the wife's car there once for an MOT[1] and it passed. I later found at least two things it should have failed on - which were most definitely there when it passed. Split steering rack boot and seized handbrake cable. Oh, and the front numberplate was so cracked as to be illegible.

[1] She didn't know it had run out - I took her car for a drive 'cos mine was up on the ramps and notice the sticker - it'd expired nearly a month before. I was already on the way home by then and passed the police setting up a roadside camera with the licensing bods. Near miss - five minutes later and I'd have copped it.

Correction;

"Offers shown cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or Clubcard Deals voucher(s)."

... so, can't get £5 off then use Clubcard Deals vouchers. Seems a bit mean, expecting affiliated customer to pay full price.

Guy King ( snipped-for-privacy@zetnet.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

I'll give you the first two, but how the hell did you not notice the broken plate before the test?

The Kia dealer in Braintree is advertising MOTs at £10. Dunno if it's a national thing.

The message from Adrian contains these words:

Didn't look! Seriously, I was in such a hurry to get the thing MOTd that I did it all in a hurry. I didn't know she'd rammed something in the meantime.
