and then go to the shop for anything else you need.

I think the following are easy fixes, parts are relatively cheap and the work easy to do at home. For me that makes it repairable.
[*]Horn does not function - Earthing or replace with Halfords special (£10?)
[*]Parking brake has no reserve travel - Re-adjust
[*]Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault
[*]centre front steering damper seal failed and leaking oil - Four nuts and a new damper (£20 to £40 depending on preference)
[*]Nearside registration lamp not working - How much is a bulb these days?!
[*]Power steering component(s) leaking
[*]Offside rear shock absorber has negligible damping effect - Change it or the pair (£20 to £40 each depending on preference)
[*]Offside rear shock absorber has a serious fluid leak - See above
[*]Nearside rear brake pipe inadequately clipped - buy some clips/zip ties!
[*]Offside rear brake pipe inadequately clipped - See above
[*]Nearside rear wheel bearing excessive roughness in rear wheel bearing - Replace, takes about 3-6 hours per wheel depending on how many hammers you have :wink: (£10 to £20 per wheel depending on source)
[*]Offside rear wheel bearing excessive roughness in rear wheel bearing - See above
[*]Parking brake efficiency below requirements - NEw shoes, drum & transfer box seal (as it's probably leaking into drum affecting grip) again. relatively easy to do and pretty cheap (£30 tho £50 depending on source but including new handbrake cable if necessary)[/list]
Might take a few weeks to do it at home but for minimal effort you've solved the biggest part of the list leaving some spare cash :lol: to spend on the more serious bits!
Good luck

As I've said previously, it's not necessarily the MOT failure list - it's the list of stuff that's happened before and the list of stuff still looming.

Give Neal a shout.

I'd gladly help out too if you need a hand.
