Always a day fraught with nervousness awaiting the phone call to hear what battering my wallet will take this time!

 

Considering the car is very nearly 20 years old I do expect a number of things to start failing, even those that have already been replaced previously. Noticed a rather conspicuous groan/creak from a suspension component that has appeared over the last week. Also air-con loses gas over a year. Usually it's not so rapid the machine shows a leak so it allows a refill.

 

Oh, well. I'll wait and see and update this later.

Apparently it was absolutely fine! It even accepted the re-gas. No suspicious suspension parts so they said just keep an eye out if and when it gets worse so they can diagnose it.

 

I'm amazed. Not bad for a 20 year old motor!!

Nice, I don't get the anxiety as I just test my own car and it always passes 1st time no advisories 😉
