The old girl passed.
« on: 06 June 2013, 17:27:32 »
 I'm very pleased.The tester said there were a couple of minor niggles, but he didn't think them serious enough to be classed 'advisory'. :y

Blown number plate bulb (yes I know I should have checked, Mr EMD)......and exhaust pipe rubbing against the rear a/r bar.

Other than that the underside of the car looks like a new pin. :y


Total costs.....£66.26.....which included oil and filter change, plus sump plug sealing ring, and a 12v 5w no plate bulb.

Quite reasonable, I think. :y

....
Blown number plate bulb (yes I know I should have checked, Mr EMD)...... ...

On a recent test on my Omega, its number plate light wasn't working either ....... I didn't check  :-[ When I removed it (as Mr MOT Tester was under the car) I discovered that the lamp assembly wasn't there  ??? I'd had the rear bumper off & had forgotten to feed the cable back to the hole in the bumper. The light was actually working under the car so I told him he couldn't fail it!  :y

Looking at the new (white) certificate I think I've messed up.

The old certificate would have expired on 14th July 2013.......but my new certificate is only valid to 5th June 2014. :'(

I'd sell her to you, Mr VXL, but what stops me is that an equivalent replacement ( Vauxhall, Audi, BMW, Mercedes)  a would probably cost me three or four times as much......unless of course you have £6,000 in loose change. :y :y :y

Not a problem sir, although I expect you to change the loose change for crisp new £50 notes to the same value.  :y
