So i took out the blue sidelights, and took off the pressed plates, had a new exhaust and new rear brakes fitted, all done for it to fail on............
lights slightly un-aligned
oh and a collapsed nearside wishbone bush
Bugger, new front wishbone bushes it is then, gonna get the solid cupra items me thinks!

Gutted Dan, such a simple thing to fail on
That's why I'm glad my service and MOT are on the same day, any faults are picked up before the MOT.
