Bloody hell.
Mind you I guess being a litigious country has an impact, all those lawyers don't come cheap.

That would hurt. I'm guessing folks average mileage is greater oo your side of the water. Here cars cover most of their journeys inching forward at about 3 mph, such is the level of congestion.

Average here is 12-14,000 miles a year.

Yup a bloody tailpipe has fallen off. The box is there and mounts are ok so the MOT guy says it doesn't matter to him. Still awaiting the result...

It's has the same warning for rear pads since I got it, not changed them yet and loads left. I know they work too as I stripped the calipers down when I got it as the sliders always seize on these.

The dodgy bush explains the knock I've never found too
