mello chris! hows you doingg

and what happened on saturday??

Well....considering her age not much, 100ish and then whatever it costs for the emissions-they dont know that yet...

considering i bought her for 350...not so good, but you cant buy a car for 350 and expect it to fly throught the MOT like a car costing 3500 would! so all in all its not so bad, and i do love her

I am pleased to announce that Lum is all better!

I cant believe how loud that wheel bearing was making her, i was driving her home in complete disbelief, i didnt even know when to change gear she was so quiet when usually she complains so much! i was going faster. and faster. and faster. no wobbles, no noise no nothing. Its like an angel has come down from heaven and sprinkled fairy, dust on her!

Thank you Andy!!!!!

Oh and shes now passed

What kind of wobble do you have?

You should sort it, you dont realise what a difference it makes til its gone!

My friend has an older Polo and took hers to a garage for Mot or repair or something, and so she asked what exactly was wrong, so they told her and price to fix.

She then took it to another garage and explained what was wrong dropping in a few terms and knowledge from previous garage and the price wasn't as much.....

Took it to a third garage and explained more detail what needed doing with help and advice from 2nd garage and got price cheaper again!

SO it helps to look like/act like you know what you're talking about, and maybe get some knowledge first or let someone (male??) you trust take it and see what they say.....

Its when im on the motorway it wobbles when sitting at about 70mph but it doesnt go away when i got quicker. Im not sure if its just balancing or something else. Ill try and get it done this week at work if i can.
