[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2414110, member: 521172"] Hiya, Yep just got the car back today. Not as bad as feared although repairs had to be done to pass the MOT. Will need new brakes once I start work again but as I don't do too many miles at the moment it can survive. The guy I use now seems to just do bits when needed rather than some garages tend to repair before they need repairing which has it's pros and cons. I probably have a higher chance of breaking down using this guy but I've got breakdown cover so not really an issue. It's funny really because with things like a kettle, oven, washing machine etc many of us tend to only buy when the old one has failed whereas with cars many of us get things repaired or replaced sometimes thousands of miles before it's needed. Hope all goes well with the eye screening. Think my last retinopathy screen was 2019 due to Covid son no idea when they will call me in again, although I had a full eye test at the optician last September and I was told that the tests they do can show up any issues at the back of the eye as well as the usual screening. I suspect I will have another HBA1c soon although I've fallen off the wagon a bit re carb intake since my score came down last time so will probably ask if they can delay for three months so I can get back on track. As you say all these tests just stress you out which only makes things worse. [/QUOTE]
