Title: Ouch MOT
Post by: Kieran on 22 October 2009, 17:57:29

Car went for its MOT today and failed on the exhaust. Took it to Kwik Fit and put it on the ramp. A bloody great hole in the mid section and the only way of fixing it is a new left and right mid sections. Total cost £377.00 including a new MOT test as the other place charge for a retest. Was able to get the MOT done free with Kwik Fit if they did the exhaust. Apparently their stockist don't carry parts for the 2.6  >:(.
Expensive month

ouch :( :( i am dreading it when mine goes as it will be its first m.o.t with me, that said the past 4 years it has sailed through ( have paperwork to prove it as it went to the same garage) is there any problematic areas on the mig i should pay attention to before it goes in

A good example of why not to use Cr*pFit

Only local exhaust fitters around. Needed it done by the school holidays so my wife could use the car :'(
