Ouch!!

Have you tried taking your van to another garage for another MOT? I took my Saab to a main dealer for an MOT recently because they had a special summer offer of £35. They failed it quoting front seat belt needed new part, £120. I took it to a small garage owned by someone my sister knows and it passed! There are some dodgy garages out there.....

They did the same thing a few years back - said my back brakes were nearing the end of their life and did I want to replace them? No, says I, as long as it'll pass the MOT it'll be fine. Drove around in it for a year, took it to small garage for next years MOT and they didn't even mention the back brakes!

Well its a £90M rollover on Friday for the Euro Lottery.

If you fancy a laugh then my motoring woes were that my little smart car

"Cheap Runabout - 60mpg £35 tax £7pcm insurance"

The engine blew up so it cost £1000 for a rebuild.

Yes £695 for the engine, then fitting and then service.

£1150 including VAT to the Smart Doctor.

I got a years guarantee..... Then he went bust!

But my back is fine! (so its not all bad)
