Its illegal to charge anyone more then £27 - £28 (cant remember which) for an MOT. Unless the £40 included parts and labour costs you could f**k them over - like they have you.
Last time i had an MOT they failed me because my headlights were out of line - they aimed to far down.
When i told the bloke that the 16v had an incar headlight adjuster dial he went all red and said.. "Errr yeah i knew about that.. err but they still needed adjusting" and charged me £10 for...
i hate MOT days too if its of any help.... This is when you find out your car is a cutnshut or needs crushing becuase its unsafe for public roads. Lucky ive had no issues with the 16v since ownership, tho ive had cars in the past that were another story.
Ill sort u a bent one out if u get any...
the seats take 5 mins to do - only 2 bolts under the car, you can remove them with the subframe attached.
I do agree with Weight tho fella, give it some serious thought before you lay any cash down.
If you were being serious tho, you could have slapped the car into 5th and just dumped the clutch - it would have stalled.

what is the ideal pressure?
cheers..
You have a perfect excuse for a williams convertion here, its make your mind up time
do u :-
A. wunna keep the car? if so, a willy convertion is the way to go, think HP do them for £2300 "fully" rebuilt which includes a stage 1 chip too.
B. Try and sell the car as it is.. (if it runs ok...
no its on a plate ;):D
cams and head work sounds nice - BBPT offer this deal but they want £1500, if anyone can do it for £1000 cheaper (Ben R ?! Maybe ;)) then id prob go down the same route. However as for now - i have more then enough power on tap! im still getting used to it. Im thinking...
