MOT next month, so fingers crossed it'll get through OK - the exhaust has a slight leak, and I think the rear brakes need some TLC
Well my intuition was bob on... It failed it's MOT on the exhaust being utterly shagged & the rear brakes being utterly shagged
Observations were that one shock was leaking a bit of oil, so I'll get an OE replacement one from Renault & replace that... the other observation was the lack of back seats
Anyway - for the first time in nine years I've had to give a car to someone to do the work on it.. I just don't have the time to do anything at the moment because I'm working away
Anyway, 3.5hrs labour including an oil change, rear discs & pads & fitting an exhaust wasn't too bad.
The exhaust was a pattern replacement sourced by the garage for buttons (like £70) for a centre section & back box. Sounds awesome & now is a lot faster (now the baffles aren't collapsed on themselves)
Given that it dyno'd at JKM at 170bhp with a dead exhaust, I'm swaying a lot to being sure that when the cambelt failed the owner chucked some cams in there...
Anyway, including 12 months ticket.. £480 (and I supplied my own oil & filter)
