    Failed MOT, what do people think of the cost to get it through, reasonable?

    Would of had them Ash if you'd of put on earlier. Had all the work done now and passed the MOT, just an advisory that 1 of the tyres is getting low, so if anyones selling 1 let me know.

    Taking out Warranty.

    When it comes to claiming, how do they decide if it needs doing or not? Do they check the car, or would the garage saying that something needs replacing be enough for them to pay out?

    LED sidelights

    Thanks Trups. Just out of interest, how easy is it to get the footwell lights and the ones on the bottoms of the doors if your car doesnt already have them? Will the wires already be there?
