Well, it needs 4 new tyres, which i expected anyway so thats no shock lol BUT the front 2 were "scrubbed to fcuk" on the inner circumference, practically down to the cords why?? I know its quite low but not ridiculously low and there were no issues with suspension bushes according to him. Surely tracking being out wouldnt cause it to be THAT bad would it?

 

Other than that, one front wheel has got a little bit of a dent on the outer rim, but they said it can be knocked out with the right tools, its not a major one and theyd pass it then.

 

Rear brake pads are quite low so will probably do these

Apart from that, no complaints

 

Lots of questions need answers please lol

 

 

One other thing ive noticed and so did the MOT man, that when he was getting the car out of the bay, it didnt want to rev and felt like it was misfiring but then it cleared and rev'd as usual, and has been fine since.

It did it whilst I was leaving off but then went?!

 

Occasionally the idle speed will "slow" a bit and it chugs slightly, but a blip of the the throttle and it goes. Fuel has been fairly low each time but not on empty, and its also got 95RON in at the mo if that would cause it?

:blink:it does take a fair whack to dent the outside! Id be very suprised if your wheel alignment wasnt out, probably a mix of neg camber and excessive toe
