Yes, I'll get them changed after the expense of Christmas!!!!

No problems with MOT, front arms not split. No failure! All OK from the most rogorous MOT I have ever seen completed.

Hello My W203 is due an MOT and it was mentioned to me that the fromt arms were split (either upper or lower but not both). I think that this is an MOT fail - is this correct? Apparently it is quite hard to see but maybe seen by the eagle eyed tester. Any comments please? Thank you.
