Title: Passed!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 18 April 2011, 22:08:07
So it was the dreaded MOT day today........ and I had premonitions that it was going to be very painful... :-/

How happy was I when the garage phoned to say she passed!!!  :) The bulb had gone on the number plate, which I missed when I checked all the lights last night :-[ and there was an advisory that the rear subframe bushes are worn :-?

Another 12 months of Miggydom :y :y :y

Thats good news...don,t think many Omegas have rear subframe bushes that aren,t shot,but reading several other posts it seems a very suspect area for the MOT inspector to really check.

Sounds like yours did a thorough job,so atleast you can be confident that all is well.

Happy motoring.

I'm away from home at the moment as well, and forgot that the MOT was nearly due.  My regular garage needs to be booked at least 2 weeks in advance.  So I popped into a garage near here and they fitted me in and only charged £35!!  :y

I had a quick look at the howto on changing the subframe bushes..... :-/

It looks like a weekend mission to me.... Get the lads round with promises of beer, birds and a BBQ.... ::) ;D

On second thoughts.....  ::)
