Dont ignore it or leave until the next mot Im surprised at a mechanic advising you so, :rolleyes if they are notchy they are goosed if the tester could feel it you should be able to ,they are only going to get worse and end up biting you in the arse and it will start handling like a bloody tesco trolley ,parts are cheap and its a very easy job ,you dont need any special tools or a press ,should take you no longer than 90 mins and that includes time stood feeling chuffed with yourself with brew in hand ,re the grease comment thats an urban myth everybody and his dog has a tale about 15 year old headstock bearings having no grease in them an its guff ,Ive stripped head sets out off 3 year old bikes from all manufacturers and never seen one without any grease in them
