Advice on work on my car - 11th Mar 2014 7:04pm
Bad news, put my car in for a service and MOT at Fords and they rang me before doing any work after a quick health check with the following MOT failures and advisories. I have included the price they quoted and was wondering if anyone thought if it was worth doing else where and how much I would be looking at paying. I am coming to the conclusion that i might be better scrapping/trading.
Make: Ford
Model: Focus
Variant: 1.6 TDCI 90BHP Non DPF Estate

1. Bonnet Latch and bowden cable - £245.96 MOT failure
2. White smoke from engine, requires further investigation £94

Would be interested to see what people in the know think of the prices quoted, how much cheaper it might be independantly and if it is worth doing. They have offered me £2k trade in on a fiesta zetec s at £10k
