Well miraculously the fiat has just gone straight through its mot but the ever growing list of advisories is starting to read like a novel so I've decided to start trying to source parts. I plan to start the repairs and clear all advisories early next year as I've broken me leg thinking I was still young enough to be playing football so I'm off my feet for a while 🫣. I thought this would give me the time to get all the bits but after hitting a few brick walls in searching was wondering if there's a known "go to" for parts required.... I'm not sure if I can put my reg number in here for the mot checking and parts I'm after?

We were discussing things in the summer and I saw you had closed down to focus on the workload you already had in so thought I'd leave it a bit?

My garage, FAST in Stockton, are looking at everything, then I'll make a plan of how far I'll go. I've said before, that Barry at FAST, is very good at keeping my feet in the ground, and recommending what's essential.

The advisories I suppose are something you can knock off month by month basis ... they definitely become a project of heart over head very quickly don't they
