Spanish MOT tomorrow and now we have got snow.
« on: 10 January 2010, 21:34:35 »
Booked my appointment online a week ago.

Have changed the blowing left bank manifold gasket and sorted a few other things out like fungus in the washer pipes. Checked all lights are working. I even saw the headlight washers shoot out and work (had the car 10 years and never seen that!)

BUT, we have had a heavy fall of snow this p.m. loads of tractors have been up and down and flattened it and now it is freezing. Should be a good start driving uphill and negotiating a tight hairpin to boot. We have had 17 inches of rain in the last 18 days, Thank god that didn't fall as snow.

We will see what the day brings.

It is no use worrying until it happens.
Once it has happened, it's no use worrying.
Dont worry. :y

Perhaps leave a couple of bottles of an appropriate "winter warmer" lying on the back seat.  :y

Any problems, contact Low-Knee I'm sure he offers a global repair service  :y

Hurrah. Got out of the village and the car passed.

I noticed although the front foot brakes were very even on the brake test the rears were half a unit difference. There was a very slight inbalance on the hand brake in the same way. That I can adjust out. I think I will have the wheels off and press the calipers back in. Pads and rear brake discs and handbrake shoes were new only 4 months ago.

Well pleased. Mrs varche has been to the wine cellar and returned with a Rioja Crianza 2001 to celebrate.
