Failed MOT, Now PASSED

Post by oukie »

Well I've been a jammy g1t for five years its just cost me the price of the MOT

But today it failed on rear brakes and rear ball joints,
Plus some welding at rear of arch

Any recommendations for the ball joints, I think the rear callipers need a strip down and clean plus the hand brake needs some adjustment.

I have found some ball joints on the bay of E @£30 for the pair but just wondered if there were others (other than MrT)

I'm looking at a potentially costly MOT this year :(

My mate is the regional director of quite a big Company so hoping to give someone a drink this year ;)
