Hello there, i am the proud owner of my first car which i bought from a friend! it has a little work to be done on it, so i am here with open arms (and wallet) to the experts! if anyone can spare a day or so (paid) -- i need 3 things done to pass my MOT!

1. Steering rack Replaced (as it is "worn")
2. Rear right tyre replaced (sounds simple enough)
3. Front right indicator will not switch on (more tricky)

if anyone knows where i can get this done, or help then im willing to pay some travel expenses and already bought the steering rack + tyre!

please help! (ow i can post some pics of the vehicle here to sumtime) *car is a Corsa 1.4 SRI (1993 model - L reg) and is in good condition apart from these things

Tried replacing the bulb with no effect, all the other lights work! - can someone suggest a good place to go and get the rack done without costing the earth, but still having a good job done ?

how much do you think ill be looking at to get it done?

chek the connection in the back of the light, unplug it from the light, give it a clean, plug it back in.

also for the steering rack, you probs lookin at around £200-£250 for parts + labour from a garage/mechanic

rear wheel, about £30 from a tire place
