I stand to be corrected, but I'm damned if I can work out where esle a macpherson strut could be worn?? Does the 440 have a strut insert as the shock, or is it a change the whole strut job?

Point 2, yes, new set of discs and pads would be a good idea, nice DIY job!

Point 3. OK, yes , probably the main trailing arm bush on each side is a touch worn, as far as I know on the 440 series this is another not too bad DIY job too?
Thought I wasn't going mad then, MOT guy must've been high or drunk!!
