Real bad news on the fail - anything big?
I've been under and around my car quite a bit lately so am not too surprised about the advisories. In fact only just finished the last lot, which were mostly at the back end round the rear sub-frame - lots of scraping, cleaning, treating, painting, and gunking of rust. Brake pipe rust is just surface, can only think the front end rust is around the jacking points - can't remember anything else. The centre damage is the problem where people have jacked under the footwell that I've read about on here - I've had a go but it needs further work. Front tyres are a result of tracking gone wrong - fixed now and loads of tread, apart from the outside corners! Bit worried about the damaged brake hose as I hadn't noticed anything like that so wonder if this is a recent thing that I need to check ASAP. The exhaust as a whole is on it's last legs. It's all Powerflow with a fast flow cat which I would like to have again. When it goes the whole thing from the downpipe will need replacing. I'm not looking forward to that day.

Nothing major, few bulbs and handbrake adjustment which I sorted the same afternoon. There's a tiny hole that needs welding but I was aware of that anyway. The big one was emissions, which despite my please I couldn't get my guys in the workshop to put the probe up one of our hire cars  It's currently at Dragon Performance having a custom oil return line which should solve my issues
