Be careful I once overtook a tractor and halfway past the head gasket blew between cylinders 2 and 3. Still completed the maneuver though!

put it through the mot, find out what it fails on and fix it ;) may not fail on as much as you envisage

AAh right, haven't got into looking into it, I was a little annoyed and took it strait round to him, but im hoping it could be something like vacuum hoses - corroded from being outside, but if its not, I will be ready to kill that garage, and if he dares to put up a fight when it comes to fixing it! :P
