Another MOT due...

Post by bullethead » Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:24 pm

Mines booked in tomorrow for the dreaded. Even when I know nothings wrong I panic. Stuck new plugs and air filter in in the hope it might improve the emissions ;) . Only worried about the brake test, whatever I cant see and the dreaded subframe bushes as mine have started banging now :(
Can only wait now. :|

Yay new ticket....
Not fixed a thing, took to different garage. Guy just said might need to have a look at the handbrake as its on the limit for test, but didn't even give an advisory.

Well done! Expected nothing less! No pressure for the Meet (again)! :D

I'll have to get 4 new tyres (not knowing if there is anything else that needs doing)! Hope it passes, due just after the Meet...

Hate these MOT things, always make me feel on edge AND for no reason really!
