mmm.. I also now have two cars with MOTs due in the winter.  Was much better in the summer.    Adjusting handbrakes is a pain at the best of times but doing it in the freezing cold is a right pain in the butt >:(

you'll be fine tb
let us know how you get on mate :y
Smoke test could be an issue - its got half a tank of crap supermarket fuel (and half a tank of BP Ultimate).

I know a wheel bearing needs changing as well.
italian tune up on the way to mot station :y

Doug
Oh yes, that was always going to happen.  Trouble is, I reckon in the conditions here, I could get the rear wheels up to 60mph and the fronts at 0mph....

Passed with following advisories:

Wheel bearing has small amount of play
Rear pads low (thought I changed these last year, maybe not)
Plastic Sills.

And got to go through it all again on Friday morning with the MV6 (don't think anything controversial on that, but I'll always be nervous about that bloody handbrake ;D)

so when you say better rubber, you will be putting the tractor wheels on for the MOT like you did last year?

Dash may help a bit  ;D

I chucked the spare and tunnie's spare stealies on the front last year.

Got some good SC2s on some bent MV6 rims I can throw on for MOT.

Really need to get it to WIM to sort out some very odd tyre wear on it, but can't until I have got some replacement rims next time a member is passing....

The smoke test came back with a result of 0.44K m-1, with pass rate under 1.5K m-1, whatever that means.

I was stood behind it when smoke test done, and it looked good to me, so that thrashing up the A43 this morning must have done some good :y
