thanks for the answers fellas it is much appreciated. i think i am just going to take to somewhere else and get a second opinion. i still have 3 weeks left on the current mot luckily. ted (tedturbo@rocketmail.com)

hi i have owned my 300zx for 3 years now and it has just failed its mot. here is what it failed on 1. rear n/s brake line showing signs of corrosion 2. o/s front shock absorber leaking 3. fog light not working the garage has quoted 2 days work and £650 to repair this but I think he's taking me for a ride. I use the car to get to work everyday and cant afford that bill or to be without my car right now because my girlfriend is about to have our first child. is any of this work easy enough to do myself (i'm not the best at car mechanics though), is £650 reasonable for this kind of work or do you think i should try getting it an mot at another garage? i am not bothered about taking it back there for a retest i just need it to be legal so i can drive it. thanks in advance ted (tedturbo@rocketmail.com)
