Haha, no worries!

It failed on loads of things to be honest

Made the mistake of taking it to Honda and not my ususal garage where they let me away with loads of stuff

I was trying to keep them in the good books before i get my ATTS fix done. Wish i hadn't now

Lots of silly wee bulbs/wipers etc but a couple of majors. Need a wee patch of welding done at the rear but the biggie is the N/S/F CV gaitors have perished. £240 to replace

garages take the body lemonade these days

I got quoted £150 per hour at last mot place, lucky I knew someone who did it for £70 all in

Well yeah, I did mine for about £5... just depends if you want to get your hands dirty or not.

Who quoted you £240? Honda? Any mechanic can fit a CV boot, have you tried a local backstreet garage yet mate?
