i've got the M.O.T coming up in july, and i've got quite a few things that i know it will fail for!, my magnex backbox has lost a rubber hanger at the back near the bumper so is dangerling down slightly! but i can put that back once got a rubber hanger, but there is the usual rattle coming from the exhaust somewhere, common with magnex backboxes!? will this mean a fail? or is it just a regular rattle, and they wont think anything of it? rear pads need replacing, needs oil change, oil filter. car cuts out all the time? does cleaning throttle body work? i've just replaced the return rad pipe as this had a split in it, so thats one thing out the way. needs new wiper blades, ill do that my self (obviously!) and my left headlight is loose, and the self adjusting mechanism has fell apart?!?! so the light is pointing way too far down! its all happened near the M.O.T! and it needs a service, any idea how much it will prob cost for the service? (not at the stealers) cheers in advance for any help, just not looking forward to this one! also the engine seems to be making a slight squeaking noise, think its the cam belt? not sure?

stick a pound exhaust rubber on and pick up a second hand headlamp from ebay or a breakers yard.. get the mot sorted for relatively cheap then worry about filters and fluid changes..?

gonna be going down the breakers over the weekend, and look for a headlight. will put that on, but it will need aligning at mot anyways, exhaust will be sorted weekend too, the previous hanger split, so need a strong one.
