Hi, picking up my first RR this next week, dealer put new MOT on it last Thurs, it passed but has 3 advisories on, see attachment, are these expensive or serious ? I'm going see if they will address them before I collect it but if they won't are they fixable at reasonable cost or not worth doing till get worse? Oddly the CV boot was supposedly fixed after it failed 2 years ago?

Have a search for rear suspension bushes as they are a common fault and I have changed mine if you search my post but many others have also posted. You will probably need to change both sides unless somebody did one side before.
The CV boot could just be leaking rather than split so would need new clips but if it does need doing you could search my posts or others as I have also changed my CV joints which isn't a big job for a garage but both jobs are quite involved if you are doing yourself

Out of curiosity I checked the MOT history again, have they changed the plate?
Its no longer on the database.

Could be the OP has put it on a private plate
Hi guys, firstly it's a Full Fat 4.2 Supercharged in Java Black with ivory leather and I'm LOVING it!
Secondly, I have changed the plate to my own hence the disappearing act on the dvla site.
It's been a busy 12 days since I collected her, been basically cleaning and detailing, plus trying sort the pdc problems ( with help of the forum searches) . Had all the wheels off and cleaned the inside of the rims, painted the disc bells black refitted Brembo decals on front calipers, loads of elbow grease and scrubbing but now looks fine, sorted a few trim issues at front, missing screws bust clips!
Polished exhaust tail trims ( they were black, now they're shiny chrome)
Replaced the rear bumper PDC loom but still have intermittent fault? Originally one rear sensor was failing, swapping the loom fixed that but now occasionally none work ( no ticking if put ear against) then they will work, suspect the cable / plug that connects to rear loom? No doubt rear bumper will off again soon! Ordered some contact spray that is supposed be Dogs doo dahs to try on connections.
Not had time investigate the suspension yet but am noticing a clunk / knock over rough unmetalled tracks., might take friendly garage see if they'll put up on ramp and have a proper look around.
CV boot was just greasy, wiped off excess (easiest job yet) .
Will post some piccys soon, thanks for replies so far
