That one is not mine, but you are quite right as a temporary job better than nothing. I like many would prefer a proper job done first time, but the guys who know how to do a proper job have lead times well in to next year.

This year this has caught me out, but hopefully for the other car I can get booked in now for some time next spring, so it will have been done before the MOT comes up.

I knew the guys would be busy, but i never expected lead times in the order of months, which is what I’ve found. I have someone lined up to do a temporary job for me, but you never know, I may be pleasantly surprised. Then again, i may not
