It always helps the helpers if they know what they are trying to help you with.

Like for instance - What make of minibus? What year? Which engine?

Is the garage that carried out the MOT quoting for the work or is it another garage?

Are they a dealer for that make of minibus?

Lack of this information is probably why you have had no replies.

It was actually posted at exactly the same time stamp - 07.34 a little bit odd that?
