Sean · Jan 26, 2009

you put it in for an MOT with no handbrake cable and yer moaning that it's failed ?

flash42 · Jan 26, 2009

well originally it wasnt meant to be a proper MOT i wanted the chap to see whats wrong and then put it through, but he just put it through anyway.
i thought he was gna repair the stuff first.
i knew those things were wrong, didnt know there was more.

All of them are simple stuff you should be checking at each service and each time you come back from laning/offroading, so it appears it's nowt to do with them being shysters, but you being a lazy fecker. I mean, no indicator and no washer jet, loose this and loose jet ... do you never feckin' drive it?

As for sending it in without a handbrake cable !!! ... words fail ...

MOT tomorrow, dreading it
