I have used the same family business for MOT,s over the past 25 years and am now almost a family friend.

Cuppa when I arrive and a good chat with which of the 2 sons is tasked with the test.If ever anything requires attention I am fully advised with a full visual inspection of what is required,along with the usual comments of " I wish everybody looked after their cars as well as you do "..nice I think.

They, like Kevin,s place,make money from the test and basic service work.I am happy to pay the £40 its been since I can remember.

I go to wherever I can find a tester with a white stick.
Just don't let him poke the sills with it.  :o

The mighty Signum returns with an MOT to 13th April 2019.

£232.20 plus £29.99 for the MOT........ So £262.19. :'(

I could buy up nearly all the remaining Omega in the world for that. :)

The Jag has a pissy little tank. About 60 litres, I think.

I was looking at Touareg's the other day .. I notice (new) you can spec a 100L fuel tank.

My first thought was "Christ, that would be eye watering to fill.." - I wonder if that has an impact on the shrinkage of tanks; fuel is more expensive and manufacturers don't want people wincing every time they fill their car? Then again, I imagine Jaguar owners have the butler do it so they'd never know...

Sorry, I thought we'd already covered that before the inevitable thread drift..

Too much bouncy bouncy! If it's not you, you might want to have a word with that butler in case he's knocking off the scullery maid while you're not looking...

It's probably a result of packaging/weight reduction...

Re proper tanks, on a large luxury vehicle, a relatively big tank is needed to provide an acceptable range... Important in places where the nearest shop is two hours away or your nearest neighbour is 200km away... Which is rather ironic considering that the target markets for such vehicles are affluent urban areas :D
