April 18, 201411 yr I took my work van in for the service and MOT todayyep, it failed, needs new discs and pads on the front, 2 new CV boots, 2 new handbrake cables and a bit of welding underneathprobably the best part of £500 :(
April 18, 201411 yr mine needed CV boots as well but they were advisories must have been the brakes that failed it - are you doing the work yourself?
April 18, 201411 yr Author no, it's in my local garage. I've gone there for years and they always do a good job for a fair price. personally I CBA doing stuff like that myself ;)
April 18, 201411 yr Citroën/pug/fiat derivative ? My dispatch failed every year as soon as the 3 year grace period was up on the same things apart from the welding, Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk
April 18, 201411 yr Had a pug van past most years with no problem. Think it only ever had a brake problem and CV joint problem in about 8 years of owning it, and I hate french cars :D
April 18, 201411 yr Berlingo was the only one that never had any problems, dispatch used to eat tyres,ball joints, cv's not to mention the 2 flywheels 2 clutches and gearbox in the space of 75k
April 19, 201411 yr Author It's a merc Vito 108cdi, I've only had it a couple of months too, it's got FSH and had a new clutch in August. It's a good runner, once it's done it should be fine for another 12 month's
April 20, 201411 yr mines a vito - the CV boots are a common failure with them - did mine myself - but I have time at the moment - £25 in parts but did struggle getting the nearside drive shaft out :)
April 20, 201411 yr Author He's said they are common too, but they are specific and you can't use universal ones. The discs were heavily scored, last time pads must have worn down to metal and damaged the discs, but only the pads were replaced
