Well £200.00 ain't bad. Brake pipes are a concern with these cars now, once replaced, jobs done.

Happy motoring for another year.

Put mine in for her MOT this morning, second year in a row she passed. Just one advisory to check rear shock at next service as there was a very small oil leak - I take it that's a simple job to replace if and when necessary?

I've had the same advisory 2 years running now on the ZT but the garage just wiped them clean. Not sure how long they'll last though Similarly with the break pipes - they just sanded out the corrosion. Can you protect break pipes from further corrosion?
