    MOT advisory

    I got a call from the dealer asking if I wanted the front discs and pads changed as the technician had highlighted them as worn and rusted and listed them as an MOT advisory. Car has covered 18k , I politely declined their kind offer to keep me safer on the road.

    I had my car in for a service yesterday and on picking it up I noticed the engine spins for a second or two before it starts, never did it before, the engine used to just immediately start, you couldn’t hear the engine being spun by the starter. I queried it and the technician told me that it’s...
