A mixture of non-MOT and MOT work

zero compression from burnt valve on pot 4 - new head
exploded dizzy - 123 ignition with a good coil - could have had dizzy reconned but tired of using crappy points

for MOT

front discs, calipers and pads
extension welding to rear inner wings and got him to do the wheel wells as well
all front wishbone bushes replaced
idler arm bushes replaced

the money pit had to stop!! Thanks for your words of encouragement though
