UK repair info

Now I'm blonde, so type slowly. My other half (who did most of the work on our cars and arranged whatever he couldn't do) has recently left. My H reg



9000 is due it's mot at the begining of May and a local garage has already said to get rid of it. I'm gutted, I know it needs a wheel bearing and I have a slight leak on the turbo that is getting a bit worse, the brakes need doing and it needs a service. The ABS sensor has been coming on since I bought it but it got through the last mot because it wasn't on when the car was started up! I have no idea how much I should be budgeting for but anything over about £400 I need to reconsider. Bear in mind I'm selling all our junk on ebay to raise that! Does that sound like enough money for the work I've mentioned? D

Tell us where you are in UK, and someone can recommend a good independent specialist for you. Don't bother with main dealers or back street garages. The first know what they're doing but charge a fortune, the second are cheaper but don't know what they're doing (with Saabs)

£400 might be OK if the leak is simple, wheel bearing shouldn't be too much (about £60?) and may even solve abs light. Though if wheel bearing is that bad you shouldn't be driving it!!

We like to regard this as a two way process so keep us informed.

There is MGM in Redruth, which I have heard positive things said about on forum boards. Check out this page, too (you can click filter by county/state to narrow down to Cornwall or a little further afield:
