Re: Knocking sound

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Re: Bought a lemon

Shouldn't have passed due to items 1-3, so you have to suspect the quality of the MOT carried out; you should raise your concerns with both the supplier of the car (which I assume is a J10 Qashqai) and the DOT. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/complain-about-an-mot Offer the supplier the ...
