nivag27 5 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well I took the Raddo for its first MOT since buying it and guess what ............ it failed lol.Dont laugh Craig, but it only failed because according to them the head lights flap all over the place, nobs.They then told me that all the plastics that hold the lights in place were broken. But it was ok as they have found some and they are £216 EACH. So I poloitely said not to order them.Got home had a look and found the person who owned it before had left 2 screws out, 1 each side.So off I popped to sam centre and brought a whole pack for a grand total off 69 pence. Job done.I shall be going back to the garage very soon and I will let you know what they say. Link to post Share on other sites
soul-2-soul 3 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 The sad thing is a lot of peeps would have just paid the £216 for each light. Do not think I have ever let an MOT place work on my cars cause I aways want a 2nd opinion & chances are it can be done better & cheaper elsewhere if it needs doing at all.

bungy 2 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I had an experience with an mot station a few years back where they clearly damaged my car punting for work. Link to post Share on other sites
