I need a MOT on one of my cars but my usual garages are both shut ...... I'm legal, as the MOT has been extended, but I want one anyway.

They all opened at once round here, about 10 days ago. Some kind of edict from the council who are, I believe, in charge of such things.

I got an MOT on my Desmond just at the very beginning of this virus outbreak. Glade I did and it passed with just a advisory on the idler being worn.  :y

My son's Fiat Seicento Sporting would have been due this month. Its 18 years old in a few weeks time. Wish I could have that one done.

My daughter had a Seicento up to last year. I mauled about a few times with various bits of the clutch mechanism .... what a PITA. And if your lad has problems getting screen wash to the screen, don't immediately blame the pump like I did .... check the inline non-return valve first!  ::) ::)

I will keep that in mind. Thanks for the heads up.  :y

Like you said the clutch is a right pain.

I 'modified' the glove box area in the end so I could get to the cable properly  ;D

Excellent! Good to keep these on the road, one of Vauxhall's best cars in my view.

I love mine so much I haven't driven my proper car since I got the Omega!
