rusty suspension = mot failure!

[Tigerhawk]

hey gang went for my mot last saturday, it failed because the front suspension coils were rusty and corroded.
apparently this happens with most clio's over 5 years old (or so the garage blokey said) because of the way the coils sit, water pools in the holder and cant escape.

so do your self a favour and check it!
