... 1) small oil leak which i knew about, still trying to track the location of the leak 2) nearside rear wheel bearing has slight play.
When i got it back it didn't fit back on. After lots of phone calls and emails ended up sending my old standard exhaust to them so they could line everything up. Would have been a lot sooner had said exhaust could have been used to drive down there. But that was falling apart. Gave me time to sort all the surface rust out while it was off the road though. Need to give it a good wash, clay bar, polish and wax then ill get some pics up. Bulletproof cars.(different system in Northern Ireland) and half-way through the test they stopped the engine and it wouldn't start again. The battery was flat. The test had to be abandoned and I have to book a re-test to finish it costing £18.50. To say I was embarrassed was putting it mildly, especially with 3 test guys pushing the car backwards out of the shed so it could be bumped... the 12volt wire was broken so it was charging nowt 
Passed this morning with only a couple advisories on front tyres and front spring corrosion. Good excuse to get new suspension, although I was looking at doing a complete upgrade sometime this year anyway.
