Wow expensive month for the cars!
The M reg 33 took £300 to get it through it's MOT today, also had to tax it so another £118.
The 155 had a new heater matrix, throttle cable, wheel bearing, brake caliper, exhaust flexy section, struts, springs, bushes, discs and cam belt!!!
Whats next?

My white 33 went straight through its MOT in August and now my red one has just gone straight through after I asked for a rear brake hose to be replaced. (Did have a heater matrix go at the end of last year in the red one and have bought some new tyres). Will keep an eye out for those lights for you on Sunday, Alex.

mmmmmm, i guess i should have the attitude that the M reg 33 has cost me a total of £300 to get it through the last 4 MOT's (this is the 1st test in 4 years it hasn't gone straigt through). That way it's not too bad. At least the sportwagon went straight through a few months ago.
Many thanks Paul, let me know.

33 sailed through MOT today- NO advisories- not even rear wheel bearing play:shock:
Hoorah!
Wife's 4 year old low miler pug 308 failed 2 weeks ago on the emmissions, so that just goes to prove who's car is the 'unreliable knackered piece of sh*t'!
