Lol, i hope it aint 200+ (for it to pass) again itl kill my savings for my new car. :(

Im actually unhappy now.

[Luke]

Brake Pipes will be about £50 I would of thought, plus your welding (depending how bad it is). I reckon £200 yeah lol.

[Prickle]

360+ cars going

[mclarenmatt]

360+ cars going

Im thinking it could get done for alot less than that tbh...

[Maxamus]

360+ cars going

[Liam_]

[ricksimmonds]

[Paul]

[RichM]

[sedge12]

i think you need a belt with those trousers lad

[Prickle]

Now 450+ a college lad you all work ffs, off to look for another 1.1i haha in the next few weeks.

[JamesR]

Why not just look for another garage to do the work?

[Prickle]

Nah its not worth it.

[Paul]

Now 450+ a college lad you all work ffs, off to look for another 1.1i haha in the next few weeks.

This is why alot of people dont like saxos.

They get little problems and spend fortunes to fix them when they dont need to.

Find someone on here to give you a decent price to fix all the shizzle in your area.

Give manicmotors/rickyrpm a call.

Little hole in the boot and a bit in the engine bay. :(

Your being ripped off then mate.

Both my arches have huge holes in and it costs £40 each side to have welded up. I bet your would cost about £80 to fix then ya brake lines jobs a good one. Dont just go by their price they always overcharge as they expect you to have it done with them.

Go to any independent garage or body shop and i can guarantee it will be ton or 2 cheaper

Well ive got less than 2 weeks to decide on what im doing, itl either sell or break im yet to decide that, but im keeping the SS haha, i might be able to make £500+ or less? of the car. :D

A mate has just rang me.

[stu-n-shell]

man if your selling the ss i want first dibs will be looking for one soon hopefully. is it the full race system or just the box. oh and sorry to hear i was the same when our honda failed. you have to weigh up whats best but id definatly have a shop around before you make any harsh decisions.

[TikkA]

He said a new headlight may cost £80 lol. :S

Definitely go somewhere else.

[Ocego_VTR]

do brakelines yourself ask around about welding headlight would probs cost £30 from scrappy then bang its done.

Also a car is worth alot more with 12 months mot as it say's its straight.

[dannyboy2005]

Il need a new cat plus VAT% my emissions hit the roof.

Itl be going soon so there lol.

Dude.. Mine has no cat :fcuk. Its got a Centre Silencer and thats it. I hear it pop sometimes.:p

I took mine for a LONG drive on a summers day to get the exhaust red hot, took it to a mates garage and the emmisions were bouncing all over the place, I was sooooooooooo close to all in the green. In the end he said fuck it and passed it.

Wack them £20/ £40 for a pass. Worth a try.

[willdotman]

[Paul]

Little hole in the boot and a bit in the engine bay. :(

Poor car RIP.

Your fucking stupid.

And 3 digits for a cat? Dont be silly.

I sold loads of cats £20 each..

Go get your self a socket set and you can do the cat for about twenty quid.

£80 for a headlight? Is it made out of gold? I'll sell you a mark1 headlight a tenner plus postage.

The welding sound very minor, ask family if they have anyone they know who can weld.

You're looking at about £60 to fix your car, surely its worth more than that?

No offence intended minty x

[Paul]

Just add it up..

Cat (emissions fixed) - £20>40
Welding - £50
Headlight £15

Never go back to the garage your using.

[ricksimmonds]

mate your getting ripped off

pay me £25.00 via paypal and i will post you two headlights complete with h4 bulbls! as said a million times, you can repair this car cheaply, sounds like you actually want to get rid of it though...you seem pretty certain you want it gone lol

[Bowey]

haha garages must love people like you

450!!!!!!!! LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just add it up..

Cat (emissions fixed) - £20>40
