[martinoutfront]

Where are you getting it tested out of interest??

 

[luke3]

Kwik fit, roy got his done there so thought might as well lol.

 

[luke3]

For f**k sake got out mot bloke got in and I saw a bloody nail in my tyre he said he would ignore it luckily, but now I've got to fork out on a bloody pilot exalto!!

 

[Roy]

Unlucky mate there's always something

 

[luke3]

Well it failed... Will get details in a bit when I pick it up, majorly pissed off lol.

 

[Roy]

On what???

 

[luke3]

Ball joints and a cracked spring, think spring was from a massive pot hole, got nails in two tyres how unlucky!!!

 

[luke3]

Not sure what to do lol

 

[Roy]

About what???
Told you about ball joints mate mine will have to be done before my nxt one

 

[Graeme GTR]

how old is the car? Ebay for a set of springs on the cheap?

 

[Foxspeed]

Ball joints and a cracked spring, think spring was from a massive pot hole, got nails in two tyres how unlucky!!!

springs dont "crack" they snap....

 

[luke3]

Probably full of crap then hmmm ive got cup springs sitting in the garage, will be getting ball joints sorted, it's the tyres I'm gutted about looks as if they've been put in there on purpose.

 

[Roy]

Where in the tyre are they??

 

[N0ddie]

Ball joints shouldn't be too expensive if you go through Karl (TwingoGeeko).

Shame about the tyres. I had to fork out for 2 for my Corsa in May then another 2 for the Clio in June.

 

[BenW]

Might be able to get the tyres repaired if the nails are in the centre of the tread

 

[luke3]

Dont like getting repairs tbh, but will have too for a month as I've just had to fork out 1500 quid for a holiday, ball joints will get sorted I'm just undecided what to do with springs tbh.

 

[Roy]

Some springs on eBay in gloucester

 

[Arran]

Take it to a proper MOT place and see if it passes? Lol! My mate took his car to Halfrauds, ended up costing him £1k! I nearly bought a gun and shot the idiot myself to put him out his misery. Especially when I said that Halfrauds were notorious for it. Should have asked me first!

 

[luke3]

No way would I ever pay 1k on any car lol. Hmm I could took it down to the Renault specialist down the road there going to have a look at it for me, I can't see any nails in the second tyre, I'm sure they are taking the Mick lol!
