My car failed it's MOT the other day, and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light as to whether these are easy fixes etc?
I've been quoted by the garage £350 to fix everything, which includes a refurbished axle as apparently mine's shot (though I feel/see/hear no symptoms tbh) due to it being lowered excessively (their words).
Oh and ignore the emissions parts, it went in with a decat pipe.
Is this a good deal, or am I getting mugged?
