Hope it all goes well bud. There nothing like going to the place and then finding out about all the things that you didn't know about before.

You'll be cool :cool:

Cheers mate, im going to give it a once over this afternoon to make sure that things like bulbs/tyres ect are all ok and if I have time ill wash it aswell, I find that if the car is clean they dont look too far for problems as they assume its looked after.

Changed by brake light switch before it went in but failed on control arms and handbrake. Still, picked up the control arms for Ԛ£60 or so and the car should be out and A1 today...just the tax to buy then :(
