Things like brakes and tyres should always be checked anyway. I dunno.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyRacer Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I will get some pics up sometime but I will be honnest some garages have been known to miss them. Interesting observation as my mechanic had a good going over of the rear ones before he to it into the MOT station and they looked at them very closely. Must be a known 7 item and I'll be watching them closely as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
