also used them in place of exhaust mountings several times.

7 days left on the MOT
with 7 days to go and an impending faliure I am taking my mog up to staffordshire and putting it away until funds allow. This could be interesting in a car that has done 385 miles in 3 years!

It has taken me 3 months to get a VSA test date out of them so I am not overly impressed with the service. You are right though, they bank your cheque within 10 seconds of recieving it! if their customer service was as efficient as their accounts department then it would be the best in the worls :wi...
