my car had an mot on saturday but it failed

1,headlight needs adjusting

2,high emissions and too much petrol being pumped in the engine

3,handbrake not working well

 

 

, i told them they could do the work that needed doing, i regret that now, i went in

there today and they said i needed new brake shoes and new

rear disc, but now iv thought about it the brake shoes and discs cant get worn down that much over the years, i dont do

handbrake turns and the car was off the road for 5 months

 

what do you think, am i being conned

Depends on how long the REar disks and brakes have been on there, but my first impression is yes!

if they told you about it and gave you the option id say no, but if they did it and didnt ask, i would say yes

Yeah. Should have just adjusted the shoes. They aint cheap either!

Where my post go?

 

I said its worth just adjusting the shoes

Ask to see the old shoes and discs. The handbrake shoes are very thin, but I suspect all they really needed was adjusting...hard to say though.

Not heard from you for a while.....Hows the family???

 

What MOT station is it?? The only worry to me would be the fuel adjustment?
