Cariad,If possible get your MOT.done at a place that just does them.We have one in our Area ( Sussex) called Just MOTs,Thats all they do.No fiddles etc,And never have your car Serviced at the same time.Its a Rip off,Thats why they terminated the call.**M**.

for anyone living in the Cardiff area I have a great garage which services my car - totally trustworthy - wouldn't recommend them if they weren't. D & J Motors, Wentloog Road, Rumney. They are trained Nissan speciaists but do all cars, do not over charge by any means

same as me Marion - don't know why I asked OH what had been done? Don't think they need changing every year though!!

I might be wrong.

OH took car to garage for MOT today, I was told wait for garage to phone to advise me of any work needed on car. Just for curiosity asked my OH what was done last year, the answer Cam Belt, and water pump.

Just had a phone call from girl at garage, she said to me "the tecnician has looked at car, and said cam belt due for replacement." Ah, I said, the cam belt was changed last mot I told her, she rustles few papers and say oh yes, oh thats all right then. End of call,,,,,,,,,,,,

what do you think????????
