Haha, no worries!

It failed on loads of things to be honest :roll: Made the mistake of taking it to Honda and not my ususal garage where they let me away with loads of stuff :lol: I was trying to keep them in the good books before i get my ATTS fix done. Wish i hadn't now :lol:

Lots of silly wee bulbs/wipers etc but a couple of majors. Need a wee patch of welding done at the rear but the biggie is the N/S/F CV gaitors have perished. £240 to replace :cry:

Well yeah, I did mine for about £5... just depends if you want to get your hands dirty or not.

Who quoted you £240? Honda? Any mechanic can fit a CV boot, have you tried a local backstreet garage yet mate?
