Hopefully it will pass. But more than likely fail on something petty :wink:

Fail.

License plate bulb blown, or something equally feeble.

Nothing major!

What/where is the pipe rusted

And as for emission, New lambda maybe? ?

Ah, probably isn't that bad.

Nearside pipe is rusted, most of it. I was getting a new lambda sensor anyway but i thought i would probably need a new cat converter?

Did they heat the cat up? Mine failed last year on emissions as they failed to get the cat up to temperature, I took it for a blast for half an hour took it back and it passed

Not sure mate. Probably didn't help that it has been sat in the bodyshop for 6 weeks!

Honestlt dude! That's nothing to worry about!!! By brake pip do they mean the copper pipe or the hose? Hose is easy and tbh so is the pipe, just means taking old one off, refitting and bleeding system. Not hard, just messy!

Emissions? Lol...basic servicing of parts and maybe fit new sensor job done (have fun fitting sensor ;) )

Wiper? Only girls need wipers.

Wiper? Only girls need wipers.

Rain X negates the need for wipers.
