Slightly off topic but....

I thought fair play to the mot tester that failed my merc.....

Everytime you braked the warning light came on for low pads/fluid....but me being me had decided it was a dodgy sensor and ignored it.....coz i had new pads on it about 10k ago and couldnt believe they had worn out yet....but mot blokey didnt know that and investigated why the warning light was coming on....when i picked it up....he told me theres not much brake fluid in the reservior....ive topped it up now....and warning light is staying off...so well done mot blokey  :y coz he didnt have to bother!

Good luck LB66 :)

I can confirm that Marks_DTM tested many aspects of your car the other day - suspension, brakes, engine, all seemed OK to me. Assuming there is any tread left on the rears  ::)

Yep. Good little place that.... you get the big guy usual mechanic type?? When I went to collect after A/C was fixed he said "Sorry pal, put too little gas in first place, so got to vac it, then i'll bang some more in ok pal?"

Funny guy but seams very good, he will also fit parts on the side for a few notes at a good price ;)  :y

I've used the same place for years, both for the MOT's and the work that I can't be ars*d doing on the road in the pouring rain or if my back is aching a bit too much.

Its certainly worth return visits.  The place I use is really fair and, more importantly, I know that the car has had a good test and not just a happy smiling '£30 please with no faults or advisories' .......  I would rather know that something is Rubber Ducked so it can be repaired/replaced than drive for a year in gay abandon, until whatever lets go and we are upside down in a field...   ;D

And as a special treat for passing, she's just had some nice fresh oil (old stuff had done 4k) and breathers checked....


Any news on yours LB66?
