The garage with the big list was a so called mate of mate, and so get the impression that he thought the work would just get placed with him.

He even started to go on about 'only a few small bits, I have parts here blah blah"

The first place added the break pipes when I said I would be taking it away to get the bits done saying 'those brackets will break off when you try to change them and need welding so will need to get all the work done in one place"

Shites, gave it to a local chap in the end who did everything on it and got it passed.
