my mot

Hi and welcome to the forum.

It's going to be hard to give a price on the rear brakes due to a few possibilities, it might just be a clean/ adjust or some components may need changing, my advise on this subject is to get it inspected, ask around -few places give free checks the parking brake issue can be inspected also at the same time..

Centre rear lower engine mounting -please tell us what the make, model and year your vehicle is and we will get back with a reply for this .if it provides support for the engine then it is a testable item.

Exhaust weld is ok if your happy with that type of repair

Serv light on is not a fail so ignore that one
Bolt for battery couple pound we would just put one in for free.
Couple of postion bulbs not that expensive .say no more then 10 pound for both include fitting

Pricing also depends on your location and what garages charge in your area as this can differ around the country.

Please post back with vehicle details
Thank you

Nitrus44 I live in Swansea what is the best and cheapest place to go in your opinion if you know of any

Sorry I wouldn't be able to tell you where to take it in Swansea as I ain't in that area, maybe one of our other forum members may be able to recommend somewhere or someone..
On the other hand would the garage that did a repair for you not price the job up for you, or the test station itself that carried out your mot?

I've just seen your post with the reasons for rejections, there are a few items on there like the air bag lamp and brakes that require on hands on /diagnostic work that we can't answer on here,therefore I can only advise once again to have it inspected.
Is the air bag warning lamp on or just the Serv lamp or both by the way?

£250 sounds reasonable for everything,
What about the air bag/serv lamp

Its just the serv light it was on when we bought the car we did ask the mechanic who done handbrake about it he said don't worry its nothing.

Thanks for the replies

The emissions which where not tested,can be tested on the retest,but ask them to check the emissions before the test, just to make sure that the repair to the exhaust is a good one, and everything else on the emissions and exhaust are going to pass ok

Just to add:
Wherever you take the Clio for repair ask them to keep the parts they replace for you as you may want to get a 2nd opinion on them .

Basically what the gaiter is is a rubber cover, bit like a glove that encloses a joint which contains grease.
Over a period of time rubber hardens and just ages over a period of time, the tester has advised it now, but the gaiter will need replacing at some point in the future, not an expensive job, but keep it in mind .

I did one of these the other day at work and the customer was charged £65 including vat.
So expect an estimate approx £50 to £ 70 depending where you take it, could even be cheaper.
