Recap - Edna in for service and MOT last Wednesday. Pointed out the rust on the bonnet that had been spotted at the Nuneaton GTG. Guy takes photo's and sends to MBUK.
Just had the phone call to say the work is approved - full bonnet respray :bannana: :bannana:

Was a breeze. She needed new wiper blades and ball joints on the front suspension - service plus shelled out for work including a service and MOT totalling nigh on £900 at the discounted rate without any quibble.
We're looking at the rust on the bonnet lip too and will be sending off photo's...

Soon I'm making a trip to see Mr Walker and Edna's wheels are going to get a good seeing to!! They're coming off and getting a through clean and hopefully will paint the brake calipers too!
