She just needed a new headlight bulb fitted. Apparently the old one was 'not bright enough' to pass.
They only charged an extra £5, so I left a £10 tip. :y
All good until 22nd September 2023.

Well done Opti!! :y :y

Always great a pass congratulations..🚙🚙🚙

According to the invoice, the bulb 499/477 H7 12V -55 W is costed as £14.95. It appears they have reduced the cost of the MOT by £10 so it only cost me a fiver.
Anyway.....for just a few coppers short of £60 (including the tip) I'm happy. :y
The classic lives on. :)

It is certainly no oil painting and putting 250 BHP through the front wheels can cause problems, but it is still the best car I have owned.
Perhaps I'm deluded. ::) ::) ::) :P

If it ticks your boxes and you're happy then it doesn't matter what others think
Many people probably wonder why I drive a 19 year old Omega
I quite often get comments in car parks ,petrol stations (i stop petrol stations a lot :D ::) :-X ) ,from people who remember the Omega quite fondly
-
Me too. Few people notice the Boxster, as they are so common, but the Omega attracts quite a few admirers.
-
Nobody takes any notice of a Ford Mondeo! ;D

My trusty diesel astra has just gone through it's sixth MOT. Advisories for discs and pads but, along with headlight beam aim, that seems to be what they do when they get bored.

Prepping? I check that there are no bulbs out and it's got screen wash, no spanner's required. I can honestly say it's never had any preventative maintenance in it's life ;D
