    What about checking suspension tops, battery security (now part of MOT), security of brake master cylinder, free play in steering column, could go on and on

    I'd be finding another garage and wouldn't take my car back there again.

    The garage might be completely innocent, but so might the guy from Nigeria who needs to deposit USD $20 million in to my bank account because he doesn't have one of his own. I wouldn't be giving either the benefit of the doubt...

    I was worried obout similar issues, Why should i give the keys to my pride and joy to some scallywag just because he works in an MOT centre.

    They could do all sorts of evil things to my car.

    They might spot its 4 or 5 cars welded together, Well tack welded and silicone sealant/filler mostly.

    I get all my MOT's off ebay these days.

    :D:D:D

    Push it out of the garage and call the AA back.
    Think the MOT station have seen you coming.

    Ask the AA man, to look at the crank sensor wire first....
