#1: Repair bill :( Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 2:35 pm ---- I got a pre MOT check done today, and this is the list they gave me.
Do you know how many of these will fail the MOT? as he didnt really say. Also, the quote they gave me was £400 to fix the lot. is that ok?
O/S/R arch liner adrift
Brake load valve seized and leaking.
N/S/F arch liner catching wheel on full lock.
Leak on N/S/F CV boot.
CV joint warn on O/S/F.
Head lights are out ( I know this will fail the MOT)
I forgot to get a quote for a new inlet manifold gasket aswel, any ideas how much a garage would charge for this?
Thanks

Brake load valve seized and leaking. ------ Un seize with W40 and lever bar (on rear axle)
N/S/F arch liner catching wheel on full lock. ----- Cable tie
Leak on N/S/F CV boot. ---- Replace
CV joint warn on O/S/F. ----- Replace
Tbh you could do this yourself, its not that hard

#6: Re: Repair bill :( Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 2:47 pm ---- £400 seems way over the top for what is wrong.
#7: Re: Repair bill :( Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 2:52 pm ---- well what they've quoted is,
£210 for the load valve
£12 for front arch liner
£155 for CV boot
£74 for CV joint
Then rounded it down to £400.
I have no idea about this stuff, so I want it as cheap as possible :S
#8: Re: Repair bill :( Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 2:55 pm ---- Replace CVs, penetrating oil the load valve (are you sure it is leaking as well?).
Cable tie/seal Arch liners.

I thought if you got a CV joint the boot came with it?
EDIT: sorry, just read your original post.
#12: Re: Repair bill :( Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 3:02 pm ---- Hang on, you can replace a CV joint?
You need to replace the whole shaft?
And tbh £100 should cover it including parts
And a boot is a gator so why is it more?
#13: Re: Repair bill :( Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 3:18 pm ---- its probably more because they'll probably replace the cv joint aswell. not sure.
