Well what do you know!!
The elite passed its mot again with a couple of advisories.
Brake pipes covered in grease or other material, ooops who did that then?
one headlight misty( yes aint they all)
slight blow on exhaust, yes back box on its way out , cat back on its way from eternal, I just wanted to see what else was wrong before I spent out for one.

I managed even less miles this year only 3,500k which puts her up to a mere 143,291k


I do like this car

Congratulations on the pass I think mine's managed to cover just over 5,000mls in the nearly 8yrs I've owned it.

Happy days

Well done.

congratulations on the pass 

I've always cleaned examined and greased metal brake lines and the ferrules on the flexis ,every year during a pre MOT check .

MOT testers have a corrosion assessment tool, the screwdriver end is to scrape rust on things like brake lines to asses if the rust is serious enough to warrant a Fail .

I guess they just cover themselves with that advisory note

Result. Good feeling.

Cheers chaps!
I actually didn't put anything on the brake pipes, I suspect they are still coated from a previous owner, I purchased this car from jamesv6 a couple of years ago(well two mot's) who had done a considerable amount of work on it.

Yes a good feeling as I had expected a fail as exhaust is blowing and as I'm sure others are was nervous re sills etc as I didn't dare look myself 😊
Anyway new cat back exhaust going on and treat her to a right good service followed by a right good thrashing 😃

Hi terry
I think this is what you need

Thanks, Andy. They list all sections in their shop.

Well done on the MOT. With regards to your headlights, mine are as clear as the day the car came from the showroom. I have those plastic headlight protectors on mine, I wonder if that is the reason.
