Default MOT and Engine Mounts

Ok, so I had my MOT last week and my car failed...expected it really so wasn't too surprised, I had to pay out for the following though:
* Windscreen damage = New windscreen - £105
* Nearside and Offside Headlamps not in good working order affecting beam image = Labour - £22ish
* Exhaust failed on leak of gasses, noise and emissions = New Standard Exhaust - £110

I also had an advisory for my engine mounts...they told me that the mounts had completely worn away and the engine was resting on the chassis....this wasn’t a failure though...but I had it fixed this morning and it cost me £94...

And now my car is totally different to drive before it would rattle shake and vibrate...but now it is so quiet it’s like a different car.

On the down side though..... i had to pay £822 for a years insurance..
