Default So i might just buy a lottery ticket.

Had all my brakes replaced, service and Mot. Expensive but worth it.

I'd also asked them to see if they could free off the geo bolts. I wasn't hopeful as I was told at the last geo check that they were all seized.

And they were able to free them all off and line them...and they forgot to charge. Not bad for a 2001 car with 68k

That's assuming they actually did it and didn't just tell you they did it

They probably twisted the bush in its housing so its totally fubar if it now feels a bit off and it was seized at the previous check.

Highly possible.

I managed to get a fair bit of adjustment on mine with the bush twisting.

That will give some interesting handling traits as the bush loads / unloads
