No intensive care needed but it did fail :'( :'( :'( O/S/F tyre (just) worn to canvas on inner edge (within last couple of days :-[ :-[) I don't think the worn (badly) steering idler helped or the way I drive quite hard  ::) ::)

Advisories - O/S/R tyre near legal limit, O/S Handbrake efficiency poor (but good enough to pass :P :P)

So... 2 tyres fitted, which was expected, and a pass certificate in hand :y :y :y

As expected TBH... Emissions tested on LPG (as presented) and were a bit higher than I'd have liked but I reckon once I've done the Cam Belt (which is due very soon) and re-mapped the LPG it'll be better... I had noticed that the LPG consumption has slowly gotten worse over the last 4-6 months or so ::) ::)

Understood. I'd settle for an estimate (between 6 & 7000) & relative status, Lord/King etc. if this is more practical & of course should you love me enough to want too!xx Maybe there's another way? I don't know. That said i left of my own accord so only have myself to blame, learnt my lesson the hard way & won't be doing anything as stupid again so fair go.
   Must be some way round it though.....just for poor defenceless little me?!!!! ::) :-* :-* :-*

well done for passing, but i usually will have my car  serviced at MOT time, and instruct the garage to "get it through" after doing the easy jobs myself like bulbs, tyres  and wipers, takes away a lot of pain and worry until i get their bill... :(

Mine gets serviced about every 6-8 weeks because of the mileage I do ::) ::) ::)

I resent paying a garage to do any repairs on my car when I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself :y :y
