Toby 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 just failed on my crystal headlights (so will put the old ones back on for the re-test) and one of my front suspension mounts needs replacing, again not a major job so overall pretty happy (it's the first MOT since I've owned the car, so it was always going to be a little bit of an uknown). Could be a lot worse I reckon! Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzark 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 It can always be a lot worse!How come it failed on the crystal lights? Mine passes just fine with them. Link to post Share on other sites
bobda 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Sometimes aftermarket lights have a VERY random beam pattern due to poor quality materials usef for the reflectors etc. That's one of the reasons I went for Hella, rather than FK, for example. Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzark 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Ah, mine has the Hella ones on probably why there's been no problem for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Toby 0 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 yeah, maybe that's it - mine aren't hella definitely - maybe I'll 'upgrade' to a better set in time for next year's MOT though, but as you say could've been a lot worse. Link to post Share on other sites

daleyboyVR6 6 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Just got top mount bushes all round with front bearings for £53 which i didnt think was bad................... :-p Link to post Share on other sites
Toby 0 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 so not too expensive then - handy! I'm actually going to get my suspension replaced at the same time (even though it's not required to do the mount), just figured it'd be a good opportunity to get it done, so I'm suspension shopping at the moment - woo hoo!

daleyboyVR6 6 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Ive just bought some coilovers from the group buy, they arrived today and look quite good, im hopefully going to fit them this weekend. They were a good price as well £400 for my raddo (£360 for golfs) but obviously performance is more important than looks so we'll see how well they cope with some vigorous driving....................... :-p Link to post Share on other sites
