well maybe not again seeing as this is the first time i\'ve taken my car in.
i\'m guessing that its going to fail on the steering and maybe the back suspention and the exhaust.
i\'ll let you know how it goes when the garage phones me up

it failed

rear lights wrong colour
both headlights loose
no rear reflectors
near side headlight aims low
brake load valve not working
back box blowing
emissions test failed on fast idol test

so looks like i\'ll be putting the standard lights back on and trying to fix the old back box or go out and buy a new s.steel one if that cant be done the rest i\'ll leave upto the mechanic to sort out

the garage phoned while i was at work, its passed
its going to cost Â£140 all togther.
Â£18 for the sensor that was replaced
Â£40 for the cat
Â£25 for the test
Â£57 for fixing the headlights, brake load valve & labour over 3 days
so not bad really
