Maybe when Sharron gets behind the steering wheel she thinks she is Lewis Hamilton :-D

My concern is that apparently your car fails every MOT on bald tyres.

What do you do when you drive????? Do you drive like a racing driver and then have to slam the brakes on all the time.

New tyres should last a couple of years at least. And consider yourself lucky it was only the MOT. If the police had stopped you, you would have been fined. Bald tyres are a danger not only to you, but to all road users. In the wet they have no grip....

Please tell me where you live, so I can avoid the area!!!! :-) ;-)

I only ever used 2 garages for my cars MOT tests, they were both very good, when I phoned up to book my car in for its MOT, they always told me that before the test I should check that the, windscreen washer & wipers were OK, lights including indicator & hazard lights were all working, tyres & wheels were OK, and exhaust was not noisy, they pointed out that doing these simple checks reduced the chance of being failed - from the time MOT test began through to when I had to give up driving in 2011 - due to eye problems, I never had a car fail its MOT.

If I had looked I would have gone to Nigel up the Common who is cheaper than they are and Fred used to work for his dad so I am usually alright there but I really should know to look myself before the MOT and service.

Once again I am paying for my bone idleness!

We combine the annual service with the MOT so the dealer picks up anything that needs doing .
We can trust them too as we bought the car from them

Hubby was a Ford worker so gets staff discount on parts

I was aware a couple of weeks before that one of the brake lights had gone so got them to replace both at the service.

Hubby did look at the tyres a couple of months before and we had 2 new ones fitted and the other tyres swapped around so both new ones were on the front .

The car is an 09 but with low mileage of 15000 plus miles

All costs though :-(
