MOT Day for the old girl tomorrow - Fingers crossed
« on: 15 November 2015, 17:04:06 »

Its that time of year again  :o MOT  :o

Freshly washed / waxed and various bits fettled with wipe with an oily rag  :y

No advisories last time so fingers crossed.  Spotted a failed Side front side light so that's fixed  :y

Gonna need new exhaust soon, rear join to back box pipes between central and rear is a bit corroded, but not blowing so guess OK.  Its on its 2nd GM Exhaust in its lifetime  :y  Guess the next one is the bay of flea ETS Clamshell one (seems to be to be the one of choice  :) - May go for twin rear pipes.  Assume the 3.0ltr twin tail pipe back box fits no problem to the 2.5 single tail pipe one - both appear to have the same twin entry from the 2 x central sections)

Cheers  :)

Had her from 6 months old.  :y

Also seen that motor on here before, OP, and I'm sure she'll be fine, stunning example, so nice to see a (shiny) PFL  :)

PS, Yes, 3.0 V6 exhaust backbox straight on, no issue. Mine's fitted with one  :)

Told you , well done keeping it in that condition always nice to have a weekend toy gleaming in the garage have you got it on classic insurance ? If not it could be worth it  get an agreed value on it.

You'll have seen my story elsewhere, I shan't bother reading it out again, but the summary is - get her insured to a true, high value, definitely  :y...  I ask you one question - if someone drove into you tomorrow, causing £1900 of repairs, and your insurance company offered you £590 for that car, would you be happy?

Really pleased that she's on the road for another year. Keep up the good work!  :)
