More worryingly, the car had 9 months mot on it when I got it and imo with both rear shocks seized it was downright dangerous to drive. Highly unlikely they had seized within 3 months...

Hey, ho nevermind - It was a good price..

One?... quite possibly, both? Nope.

I have no faith in the garage-trade. There's a fella on here that teaches fledgling mechanics and he says, just as cars are getting ever more complex, the calibre of his students ever drops.

He says of the 30 odd students he had last year, he'd not let more than 5-6 near his car. Most dropped-out, not making the grade. Frightening.
