No, the results of the fail check are online, on the gov website so it's all listed there. I've emailed the DVSA as their number is currently out of action and have asked them what I should do. I imagine I should complain about the first test but it also said I should contact them directly if I...

Ok, so the guy delivered the car back to me yesterday evening. I carried on with my story about how we were going to think about what we were going to do with it (didn't want to get his back up) and how we might just get rid of the car yada yada. He texted later saying "we buy cars too!" which I...

My understanding is that you can drive a car that doesn't have an MOT or has failed it's MOT if you're taking it to a garage as long as there's nothing listed as 'dangerous'. The MOT test results don't show anything dangerous, only 'major defects'. I'm hoping he'll still bring it back this...

Yeah, Arctic2, that's more in line with what I would have thought it'd cost. £900 just seems crazy. He's dragging his feet about getting the car back to me because he says you can't legally drive it with a failed MOT (I thought he could with the special plates they use and I thought I can drive...

I had to google what an Italian tune up was! I sent the guy a message this evening asking to bring the car back and saying that we wouldn't be getting the work done and would be deciding what to do with the car. I'm trusting my gut with it so will take it somewhere else. It had a BG244 diesel...

It's a mechanic booked through ClickMechanic. They use garages all over the place, it's kind of a referral system but it all goes through the website and you pay through it. I had a major service done through the site last year in February and I did the MOT through the site last year (again, it...

Hey all, Our car went in for it's MOT today. It's been running fine lately so I didn't expect anything to be amiss in the test. The garage has said that in order to pass, they need to replace the anti-roll bar links, the suspension arm pin bushes and the suspension arm ball joints and it failed...

Heard back from the garage and they say that the error suggests it is the Crank Shaft Sensor so they're going to replace that. I'm kind of sceptical as I'm sure it's something to do with the fuel system but they're the experts so I'll see how it goes. Should be done by tomorrow. Hopefully it's...

Thanks for your advice guys. It ended up conking out on the M25 again today at 70 with no hard shoulder. Luckily my wife got it started again and got it home but said it kept feeling like it was losing power. I've taken it to a local mechanic and have explained the issues (it even conked out...

Hey all, I have a bit of a weird one with our 57 reg LR2. First a bit of background, in case it helps: We were hardly using the car up until a few months ago, as in, I'd maybe drive it on a short trip once a month. The battery went flat and it sat flat for about a month, which ended up killing...

Overnight someone has stolen the mirror glass from the wing mirrors on our Freelander 2, a local resident's Discovery 4 and another resident's Evoque. The land rovers are the only vehicles affected and it looks like a targeted theft done to order. This has happened in the Blackheath area.
