Yeah,

When You get your VT30 list, ask them first, and then, just to confirm, post items on list 2moz;)

as for flangybobs, what can I say,:P ;), lol.

Thanks :)

As a girl who took 20 minutes to change 1 windsreen wiper it can feel a bit like your walking into the lions den, they could tell me the left flangybobs broken and it'll cost £300 and I wouldn't know any better. can I ask them to show me the broken stuff and explain it to me?? and would that help???

Yes,

Obviously if the brakes are bad enough they will be on the VT30 (failure)

as for your creaky issues, can`t hear them either, lol.

I dont mind spending a bit of money on it but I'm on a budget and I think the brakes may need doing and there is a weird creaky noise coming from inside the stearing wheel. ( tell me if I'm getting to technical!:P)

Hi,

Drivers door is Not a refusal to test, but Unfortunately it Is a Failure Item. Without seeing the vehicle, it is impossible to tell why it won`t open.

Get the Vehicle tested and go from there, surely a 99 or Y2K is worth spending afew quid on?

Wes.

My car is being MOTed tomorrow but having read several posts it would seem that they wont even test it if the drivers door wont open from the outside?

Is this something I can fix myself? (theres an airbag in the door)

If not how much is it likely to cost? I'm worried I'll have to pay to fix the door then they'll tell me the rest of the work will cost a fortune, it wont be economical to fix and I'll have wasted the money.

Its a citroen xsara V reg

Need help fast :(
