hi i am new, i own fabia 1.9tdi for 2 years- briliant car

Cunning Halfords autocentre with their mot

The other day i booked my fabia for mot, drop it of and came back after 5 hours.

Guess what: it did fail its mot. Failures: front spring coil, two tyres, 3 bulbs, track rod, light adjustment, front light insecure. For all this pleasure ‘polite’ Halfords colleague explained why it failed and what it will cost me 700 hundred pounds including vat to put my fabia on the road. He explained that if spring coil is to be changed on one side then another one have to be done as well hmm and top bearing of course! The only things i have to agree with this ‘clever’ man were that bulbs needed replacing and that one of the head light holders was broken(5 drops of super glue) and yes the spring coil.

Track rods- cost me 13 pounds, and 14 minutes later replaced my self, spring coil: 49 pounds and 20 for replacing. Tyres: went to the local garage, ask the question about the tyres-he said-actually your tyres are still ok, but just in case had another set of four at home-so job done. Head light: took it out, glued the loose part, and replaced the bulbs and looks like new. Tracking done.

Went to just mots, and 23 minutes later passed!, so 150 pound versus mighty Halfords of 700 pounds. You do not need to be brain sergeant to understand that Halfords are full of ‘cleaver ‘ people

Thank you Halfords again, and see you never!

Hi and welcome aboard.
