Passed first time. Brilliant we thought, no work needed doing for the test all sorted for the summer.
Or so we thought.
Last year some it was pointed out that welding the front steps would need replacing and we had not quite got around to getting it sorted. This appeared as an advisory again this year and we needed to have an extra seat belt point mounted in the rear (a PO had removed one when making repairs) so we decided it was time to book it in now.
A few phone calls around the local(ish) VW specialists brought to our attention the long wait for work to be done. Hmm what to do? We need the welding done to be able to use the van (need all 5 seat belts now) but if we book her in we'll have missed the summer.
The solution presented itself when we noticed a couple of old Jags (Inspector Morse style, Mk2 I think) outside a local garage. A quick inquiry confirmed that they did a lot of work with classic cars and would be happy to work with Maisie. They also had availability this week on Friday.
Result!
So all booked in ready to get welded up and back on the road.
