Hi All :)

Car failed its MOT on a broken rear spring today :(

Also front shocker bushes on the way out....

Daily driver as well and never really noticed any difference.... rang Paul Anderson and he said "I did warn you last time that your shockers needed changing as going soft" lol...so booked in for 4 new Bilsteins and two new rear springs etc....

Ah well at least that should last for a few years once done...

All the best Brett :)

At least it's nothing major and a great excuse to upgrade! Enjoy! :mrgreen:

It's the weight of those bottles and the tin foil :lol:

I hope it's all sorted soon, see you at Beaulieu.

I'm puzzled Brett as I looked up MOT record out of curiosity, and it records a pass on 25th. Advisories mention shock bushes but no record of earlier failure on spring?
