some shocking storys i took my civic to a local garage for an MOT and they fail'd it on breaklines, bushes, and other little bits. they wanted £350 to get it sorted! i didnt have it done because i knew the car was mint so i took it to my local renault dealership (my mates work there) and it cost me 36p for x2 suspension splitpins + mot cost, they confirmed that there was nothing with the car!
