Well thats a given, but surely an MOT center is an MOT center the country over..... The one thing I was worried about was the emissions, it passed but I am still having the smoke sorted out. The headlights were an advisory and I have had them replaced, in fact everything, including the...

................... and thats my damned point FFS! I rely on someone who is supposedly trained as a mechanic, he not only rips me off but also does a crap job, and I am the one being ostracized! So far no one has explained to me why, in Norfolk, a passenger door that fails to open is OK...

Its amazing, I get ripped off by my mechanic, decide to get all the work I need done and all you t wats decide its my fault! I own a car, drive a car, and rely on a skilled trade to maintain said car, but its my fault that car is faulty! If I owned a Ford would you all feel the same or is it...

Who said that?

I am spending over a grand to get it back on the road, I have been, for the last 2 years, spending over £400 to service it, and its me who is vilified................. Just how much more do you suggest I spend on the vehicle?

Oooo goody, more sanctimonious posters! I actually showed my mechanic, the new one, this thread earlier and he was totally blown away by all your comment, but he did say.........."Typical sad Landy freaks!" His words not mine, so no point shooting the messenger! Glad to hear the...

Miss you..............

Thats fine, we are good, and its very big of you to admit you were wrong, it turns out you are a bigger man than I was told you are...................

Oh yeah, yeah, thats it......... I have done everything right. When I posted on here a while ago about brake pads I was told they were easy, no worries and a child could do them, well I couldnt, so in the end I needed help, once shown it looked easy. Your argument is lame, your examples...

I have been getting it serviced once a year and Mot'd once a year, never at the same time, and always about, but not always, 6 months apart from each other (in truth more for money than anything else)

Tyre wear, well yeah, admittedly I knew one was a little low, it still had tread on it, but I was unsure, as it happens I had already ordered new BFG's because I got stuck the other day at work. The shock..... The bush had gone, now since it was still bolted to the car but it had no bush, if it...

Are you serious? I came on here to post that I just put my car in for an MOT and found out that there was a lot wrong with it, YOU turned this into a thread about me driving a car I knew was lethal....... I am having the work done, at considerable cost, including a few extras, like ALL...

If you want I can tye a few more things and you can quote them out of context, that way people will read your posts and think............ "Oh Sean, what a man you are, you showed him!" OR.................. You could leave me alone and run along and play with someone else. Now if you...

Oh I think the lesson learnt here is not to post anything on a forum that can be used against you................. of course with some posters around that limits what you can actually post!

Yeah thats what I have done, cheers, and the guy who is doing the work keeps me regularly updated and comes really highly recommended, the last one was a friend of a friend.

The irony of this post is that Sean then tells me that if I am not mechanically minded I should not touch the car, which is what I did, I trusted a mechanic, and he stung me........

rearange these letters................... WTAT

Oh I can read, I am just NOT MECHANICALLY MINDED!

So having it serviced once a year and Mot'd once a year, 6 months apart is being ignorant? Hmmm.................. I think the point here is that the mechanic I used was a shark, the one I have now is a good one, and since its in having the work done I'm not sure why the hell I am getting...

Nope, not a clue! I recently changed the brake pads and it took me hours and I had to involve 4 other people AND call my mechanic mate in Sussex.
