    Hearse failed it's MOT today. Rear offside broken spring, front offside upper anti-roll bar. Got advisories on 2 front tyres which I knew about and near side front strut top bearing.

    Nothing major there then, both easy jobs to fix so you should be good quickly enough.

    Mine's booked in for it's MOT on Saturday, dreading it to be honest lol.

    Child seat is always advisory as they aren't allowed to remove it as they may not know how to refit correctly. Standard advisory often at my work.

    looks like uprated or ebay springs then, looks like a design flaw in gm springs, cant see the point in replacing gm springs with gm ones
