Well, my Coop failed MOT today on top mounts. Both sides are grinding up the rubber & practically falling apart. They are not that old either. I've sourced replacements & my tester is very kind & loves the Coop. There are some points he has shown me but once the garage fits mounts all good to go. So I'm quite happy considering the situation.

Main thing is it's fixable Jim, then another year's breather

Yes Simon it's fixable. The garage are good to me as they like the Coop. Not wanting to jump the gun I'm hoping to have my Coop trailer ed down to Joe sometime next year so he can work some magic on the old girl. I may have to bend your ear Simon Hopefully in Carlisle.....
