Hi Folks,
Many thanks for all of your replies much appreciated, I thought it would need replaced. I shall need to wait until my bank funds are a little more healthy before sorting it out just trying to get it through it's MOT as the moment.......Failed on the emissions lambda reading.....
The brakes have been bled with new fluid so should be ok for the time being. ZMANALEX i will give you a shout when i'm in a better financial position!
I would have to agree with Ekona, I trust the garage wouldn't do anything malicious and bearing in mind it's a 15yr old car now so S**t will happen.
Cheers.
