Hey guys, need a bit of advice. Have my NCT (MOT) coming up mid-may. Need to get a few things fixed before I do so. There's 4:

1) Need diagnostic kit to knock off an airbag light which came on during due to leather upgrade
2) Need to get a headlight bulb fitted as the holder for the bulb is jammed in
3) Rear wiper sprayer needs to be reconnected
4) Horn not working (sometimes)- dirty contacts?

I'm not sure as to how much I should be willing to pay for these repairs. I think it depends on the horn issue. I think it could be simply dirty contacts as there was a lot of dust in the crevices of the steering wheel near horn when I bough the car.

This mechanic works from home in the evenings and has his own diagnostic kit. I already bought the bulb myself! I would try fix some of the probs by myself but I'm studying for exams at the moment and simply don't have the time!

Any idea of how much I should expect to pay?
Thanks,
GTJunior

Hmmm, interesting! Some people take the bulb out if they have an ABS problem (which is tested over here) but the test invloves checking that the bulb lights when you turn the ignition on then goes out.
I suspect that the airbag test for you lot will be the same!
