M.O.T. today.
« on: 13 December 2021, 17:12:51 »
over 19 years old and over 190,000 miles. Two advisories, so cant complain.
Slight wear to steering idler. Got a new genuine one in the shed Ive been meaning to fit for at least two years.
Corrosion on inner face of front discs. Standard Omega issue, but disappointing. I fitted a new pair just before last years MOT, approx. 3000 miles ago.
MOT man said lack of mileage is the problem. Standing around doing nothing is when the corrosion gets into them, which makes sense.
Overall, well pleased though.
Particularly as it may get pressed into daily service soon as little Pierre is dying again. ::)

If petrol was half the price, or the Omega did twice as many mpg, Eeeyore ownership would never have happened.  ;)

That's OK in theory BUT ..
how much money and time are you spending repeatedly fixing CL-Eeyore
it must be adding up to several tanks of Omega GOGO juice  ;D

This is the quandary I now find myself in.  ::) :)
Realistically I should get rid of both and buy another petrol car that does around 40mpg.
Cant bear to part with the Omega though.

I know it does 483.78mpg, but that sounds expensive for a CL it.  :D

Stemo only  wants the CL-Eeyore so he can drain the diesel for his Astra and burn the plastics,tyres and shell rather than pay for the ££ GAS ££ to heat his home  ;D
