my T plate 2.4 JTD may be on last legs.
Love the car but starting to cost an arm and a leg in repairs - Croma is looking tempting but would have to shoot myself if I buy a new one ( Fiat Marea`s must be holders of the new car depreciation record )
Need some views on likely damage before I get stung at a garage and work out my options.
Just had an MOT fail for:
Drivers seat insecure - it is the electric adjustable version - Tester not happy you can just move up and down by physical force from the position it has been adjusted to. I thought this was normal had a look ,as far as I can without it being taken out, it seems to be secured by two extendable arms and they just move up and down freely when you give it a yank - is there meant to be something else as well to hold it firm in whatever position it has been adjusted too? and any ideas on cost to repair?
Inner CV boots split - Seem to be cheap parts but how much labour too do?
Thanks
Dave
