Obviously not its first MOT, but the first one she's failed! lol

All it was were both nearside and offside suspension balljoints.

These look simple enough to replace- has anyone got any idea where's best to get new ones?

I suppose some from a breaker's yard would definately be a false economy. (Getting them as a cheap fix wouldn't be very nice to a future owner either!)

I phoned Fiat and it's gonna cost £65+Vat per side That's over £150. ****e.

Any ideas people?

Nothing there I'm afraid, but thanks anyway mate.
I'm starting to think perhaps it's gonna have to be a breakers yard

I'm getting confused now, when they said ball-joint I pictured it being the joint at the end of the AR bars. But they aren't ball-joints! Do they mean the wishbones? In that case, cheers Dan, only £10 each!!

I got mine from buypartsby. £15 a side. but one of the ones they sent didn't fit, cost a tenner to send back before they gave me the right one.

Was a right b***er of job getting the old rusty bolts out though!

What model is your Dan? mines 1.6 one side is £11+Vat the other is £15+VAT! Anyhoo, ends up costing £40 delivered, a total of £115 cheaper than Fiat!!!!
I've just gone and bought them!
