Punto is having a Service and MOT today, who can guess how much it'll cost me and what will be wrong?

The person with the nearest answer to the cost, will winner will get the satisfaction of being right.

    My sister had a punto for a (short) while, and it damned near fell apart over that time.

    I'm gonna say it'll come back with around a £300 repair bill, most likely ECU issues and brake misalignment :twisted:

    After the MOT centre, next stop will be the ELV Centre.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I reckon it'll require karmic realignment, and it'll get an advisory for vampire infestation.

    £140 and it passed!

    Just advice for the rear coil spring things?

    Oh and the back wheels were on the wrong sides or something...but they switched them.

    Those rear coil spring things cost a fortune to get replaced! I looked into it, but luckily, the punto failed it's MOT and got scrapped before I did any more work on it!
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    You're allegedly a woman, therefore its in the mechanics manual to rip you off at every opportunity as lets face it you wont have a clue if they did or didn't.
