Mate I'll give the guy a buzz tomorrow and see when he's free if you want it done before?

You'll just need to arrange to pick them up from mine in Edinburgh - i'll let you know what he says is the quickest day he can do them and then ping you my address :thumbsup

Angus Motors, in your town, will do an honest MOT for you. If it fails it's cos it should.

Take care,

Frank
