    Lowered cars

    Before a had my punto I had a 106, that was lowered, as much as it looks mint I had huge trouble working on it as jacks would nor fit under it

    I also found it bear impossible to find a garage that could MOT it

    Has any one else had this problem ??

    And how you get round it ??

    buy some spring spacers that you use to tow a caravan with they raise up about 20mm my cars too low for the mot brake rollers but with the spacer i clear the floor by around 5mm lol well worth 20quid saves messing around looking for mot stations or changing shocks etc by the way t&r on woods lane/monk st are pretty good for this sort of thing

    Agree there with Jamie saves a lot of hassle and stress, well worth it for that money

    Just carry two planks of wood for the garage to use to get the car on ramps
