Hi,
As the title of this post explains, my 02 Jazz has just failed it's MOT because of excessive movement at the top mount of the MacPherson strut on both sides. The garage quoted me about £270+vat to sort this. This broke down as £150+vat for parts, and 2 hours labor. Does this sound right?
Is this a job that can be done at home or does it require specialist tools? Would I need a spring compressor? I'm quite mechanically minded, so am happy to do the job myself if it doesn't need a whole load of specialist tools. Can anyone give an estimate of how long it might take to do.
Many thanks,
Martin
