My miggy just failed its MOT on;
Front Discs and Pads
Rear Shocks Leaking Excessively
Centre exhaust box leaking
Rear Box corroded
Rear coil springs need replacing
O/S Headlamp Aim too high.
Nationwide want around £750 to do it, any better offers from anyone breaking parts on here???

Ouch, thats not a good bill of health

I've heard they fail MOTs to get more work in.

GM exhaust around £250, shocks £40 each, discs/pads £70 all for genuine parts on TC, +VAT.

Springs, £30 from factors

[psychnurse]

  Thats not good matey! Hope you get it sorted

I've heard they fail MOTs to get more work in.......

Which is why my cars go to an MOT station that doesn't do repairs, so he couldn't give a monkey's left gonad, from a financial view, whether it passes or fails.

i could do all that for about £ 400 using new disc and pads and second hand exhaust and shockers and springs fella

I am half wondering if they are ripping me off...
Apparently they can fail brakes if they 'look worn'...
methinks they have a bit too much power....

Oh dear, bad luck  

Thought it was down to the brake efficiency test unless something was actually lose / hanging off with a visual inspection.  :-/

How convenient... it's failed on all the basic yet profitable components that Nationwide supply....

[Marks DTM Calib]

Rear springs 60 quid a pair
Exhaust 250 quid
Discs 80 quid
Headlight aim - adjust yourself
Rear shocks 40 quid (KYBs)

 Is there not a minimum thickness for discs? Or to put it another way, measure them? With a micrometer? LOOK warn... ? Mariva 2 doors down went in for service at vx, advised new discs! Why? they will fail Mot. No wear at all, they look tatty, true, but no wear. Old ish car no miles lives outside, rusty discs fail an mot do they?  Bo@@erx! Sorry but they do my bloody Nut In..... what where we talking about... Oh yeah, me, i would find cheapest price for exhaust and do the rest myself. 400 the lot sounds tempting tho.

They are robbing GITS, do NOT take this back, father tunnie was told stuff needed doing to his, when it did not.

First, take this to another independet MOT place and get it checked again, nationwide quote for work not needed.


Front Discs and Pads - £80 fix with GM parts
Rear Shocks Leaking Excessively - £100 fix with GM parts
Centre exhaust box leaking - £250 for Cat back GM exhaust, DO NOT FIT PATTERN
Rear Box corroded
Rear coil springs need replacing £40 each KYB which are OEM fit.
O/S Headlamp Aim too high £0

So £500 to fix using GM bits    

[markey mark]

or like i said £400 for me to do it inc bits !!
