damn, clio failed on the anti-roll bar link or something like that. He said the labour for that would only be £40 though so I'm just going to get him to fix it because otherwise I would have to pay £44 for a re-test.

Neal - I'm not totally sure, he just said the anti-roll bar links were cracked on both sides. I'll find out exactly when I go to pick it up as I just spoke to him on the phone just now. He said the parts were about £6 or £7 each side.

could be neal, I didn't ask too much about the details as all I wanted to know was if I would be cheaper fixing it myself. The way it worked out though I would have to pay for a re-test, so I now have to pay for the garages labour - which I hate doing when I could do it myself.

I'll check exactly what it was and get back to you mate. I hadn't heard about them being a problem on clios unfortunately, or else I would have checked them over.
