Decadent swine. £600 seems standard to pass an MOT these days. Not sure it warrants getting a new car! Mine in 11 years old and will have to last many more years before I can think about a new one.
minor things that make you fume
- Thread starter moosed
- Start date
A garage once tried to tell me that it'd be cheaper to scrap my car and get a new one after it failed an mot.
I took it to another garage who fixed what needed fixing and put a new mot on it for about £150.00.
The car lasted for another ten years after that - my missus had it, then her mate and finally my mum.
Take it to another garage, you've got nothing to lose mate.

To be honest I don't know what is a standard cost. It has had 10 years of virtually no problems so I expected a bit of expense. Said all the shocks need replacing as need to do in pairs? And front suspension wishbone has more travel than it should. I've used them before and they seem fairly good. I'm hoping that it's general wear and tear and that after this work it'll be good for a few more years.

Women (and it's always women) who don't take their bags off their shoulders when they're manoeuvring their way down the train, nearly taking your head off in the process.
This bird this morning, big handbag on shoulder, starts moving backwards whilst this bloke is getting off, so her bag actually started pressing on my face. I swiftly stuck a hand up and forcibly shoved it out the way, upon which she huffed and moved the bag. She glanced my way and I gave her a look that could cut diamonds.

Why's that? I think he's a ssss stirrer of the highest order but glad he's one of us.

Yes mate.
It's best practice to replace shocks in pairs, but of you're running an older / budget car not absolutely necessary if only one has gone.
Have a look on eBay for your shocks - you'll get new ones much cheaper on there.
With regards to the front suspension wishbone having more travel, that's not a big job either. ( again have a look on Ebay ).
If you can buy all the bits and then go to a garage and ask them to do it for cash, you'll save not only on the bits, but also the Vat too. Any garage will be able to do the work, as it's easy basic stuff, so steer clear of big fancy garages. The inflated hourly rate is to cover the costs of having a big flashy garage, not the quality of the mechanics.
I can guarantee that doing it that way will save you a packet.

When you screw the top onto something and it doesn't line up properly with the body of it when it's fully turned, so youre forced to live life on the edge and unwind it a bit
