Well the car passed it's MOT yesterday with just 2 advisories.
1. Noisy OSR wheel bearing.
2. Excessive handbrake travel.
I was happy with that until I got the price of the wheel bearing; £193.00 + VAT (and labour) as it's a complete unit with hub, etc.
I thought it had been droning for a bit, but was trying to ignore it.
Also been looking at how to adjust the handbrake and in looking at a couple of other posts it seems like it's a centre console removal and screw driver bodge-job, is this correct?
I think I might leave all this until it's next service as that's only 3k away...
fftopic: It happens all at once; Christmas, 700 litres of oil for our heating, car tax, electricity bill, tax bill from when I was self-employed and the above car costs looming.
Oh well, better get stuck into some of that left over booze!
Cheers,
Nick
