    Not sure mine will, there's been a rattle and just found a snapped coil spring. They should be here tomorrow but mot is at 8am. Hopefully he won't look too closely 🤞.
    Will be happy if that's all it fails on to be honest, can have the new ones on and back there same day as he's only up the road.

    • Just undo the bottom damper bolts and Jack the back end up. I changed mine in 10 minutes like that. No need to take the wheels off[emoji106]

      • As expected it failed on the coil spring. Although not on the one I spotted, the other side had gone as well. Just got an advisory for corrosion on the other broken one!
        Had a few other advisories but seem to be complete bullshit. 1 is coolant leak from thermostat, not sure how he could even see it. I've taken the skid pan off to have a look and all dry. He also said front fuel pipes were corroded but all I can see is a bit of dirt.
        Think he was hoping to get some work out of it. He quoted me £165 to replace just one of the coil springs, cost me £100 for the 2 and half hour under the van.
        Don't think I'll be going back there next year!
        I'll be back in Monday for retest and get another 12 mths of fun ticket!

            • He did mention it seemed a bit low on power before the turbo kicks in and might be the maf. I best unplug it and see if it makes a difference.

                Try cleaning the maf sensor with brake and clutch cleaner first

                    Ah well, he didn’t charge labour for the bulbs or sorting the ball joint mate. Let him off.
