MOT TODAY

My car is now with the garage for its MOT and Service. Its the first one I have had with this car, and Im biting my nails waiting for the invoice.

I have already been told that the front brake pads need doing, and the back brake drum is sticking (1 hour labour to free). Luckilly I took it to a local garage and not Fiat.

Is the back drum a problem?

Also, I have checked my 1 yr no claims amount on my insurance, and my insurance is going to be halved!

Will keep you up to date on MOT.

IT PASSED!

Cost £180.00 but its better now. No wonder i wasnt stopping well, i had nothing left on the brake pads!

plus i had a full service.

and i noticed from the last MOT that my car has done less than 2000 miles in a full year (i have done 500 of those since April)
