mot

[binnzy]

took my 2001 406 110 estate for its mot this morning, failed on nearside dipped beam, one lightbulb later it passed, what a brilliant result.

Thats a great result, out of curiosity when it failed how much did the garage say they'd charge to fit a new bulb? Was it just the left nut or did they want the pair?
I remember nearly falling through the floor when the 307 failed on a drop link and they wanted the best part of £100 to fit a new one!!!

The mot tester is a friend of mine, he just put a new bulb in without even asking and charged me £3 for the bulb

and when we are in the pub it will probably cost more in beer anyway

Sounds like a reasonable arrangement to me.

Should'a checked the lights over before the MOT?

[binnzy]

Hi put it up on the ramp sunday morning checked every thing. suspension bushes, exhaust and things. lights were all lit, but he showed me although the bulb was lit it wasn't bright enough to give a proper reading on the alignment guage.

Oh I see, as you were.....
