Hope all went OK

All went well 5 out of 5 aint bad, never had a fail since I bought it
4 advisories
Anti roll bar ball joint dust cover damaged but preventing ingress of dirt, both sides
Front wheel bearings both with slight play

I am sure there is a workshop for these items.

He did mention emissions were close to limit, so what should I do for next year, is it a matter of new injectors, or getting them serviced
Or maybe a recon IP
Or both?
How much would both cost?, I could change the injectors I think, not so sure about IP
The car has no rust, gives me around 27-28 MPG, all I have done to it apart from changing filters and fluids is a new tyre, new brake pads, new exhaust, it has only done around 10K since I bought it in 2010 so worth while keeping I think.
A few hundred to sort it I think would be well spent

Comments please

Wheel bearings will probably tighten mine did and wasn't on as an advisory the following year. David.

Wheel bearings adjust easy, remember they need a pre load ie 1 to 2 holes more after no play, boot on drop link cannot be replaced just prepare for new drop links just before next test, did you take it for a hard run before the test and red line it hard in 3rd preferably on a slight up hill to burn out all the crap, do that next year and all should be fine, Rick
