Ahh the time has come for the dredded MOT and to my surprise it passed yay but thata where the fun stops :-( the cars got some small problems easlil to fix rear brake flexy lines need replaceing soon, hole in the exhaust, not to bad then but the MOT also brought up a few other problems, slightly larger, the head gasket is on its way out and leaking slightly, the clutch needs attention, and the front brakes are nearly shot, what to do what to do any ideas people? |

where is the hole in the exhaust ? I am a great believer in patching holes. If you do it right it can last for years., Wire brush it, add rustproofer, cover it in goo and stick a metal plate or bandage over it. What exactly is wrong with the front brakes ? |

The bloke who MOT`d it is a good friend of mine and we done the sniff test together, its not leaking much but its on its way out, the front brakes just need new pads and discs, but i dont want solid rotors i want vented, the heaad gasket is my main concern and then the clutch. |
