The car is coming back on the road. It went for an MOT Saturday and failed on two things. 1 was a binding rear brake caliper. Putting new brake pads in seems to have sorted this issue out. Although I have got a spare caliper now as I bought one second hand anyway for £30. I will be getting another for the other side and refurbishing them my self and putting them on as and when 
It also failed on some rust where the front subframe bolts to the body. I have been quoted £180 for this repair and to be quite honest I am just going to get it done at the garage that did the MOT for that cost. I need to car on the road ASAP and that will be the easiest and probably the best way of getting it done! (The garage is a very reliable sort of place where everything is done to the book. It was probably the most thorough MOT the car has ever been through!)
I am glad it went through the MOT like that though as I would like to know that it's a safe car and having only failed on two things at a garage that's as thorough as the one I took it to I would think it is in great condition which is good to know!
