Yea cheers mate, dispute is gonna be they must have been damaged after the MOT when whoever that works there fitted the bushes rather than the mot itself as i doubt they would risk loosing their licence or a fine over something that obvious!! just wanted to know if that was a fail or not incase they turn round and say its not an MOT failure and was fine hence asking their obviosly old as the cars a j plate but theres no mention from them or the mot place before about any signs of wear or perishing on the pipes!! so as said was prob done from the arms being left hanging/twisted while the bushes got changed.
