Well, the MOT is new and shiny, even if the car perhaps isn't in some areas - always a good feeling :y


Much concern with the advisories?

Nothing I wasn't aware of, a couple of chips in the windscreen (but not in the field of vision), rear tyres wearing on the inner edge, slight play in the front ball joints and 'steering arms deformed but serviceable' which is my seized and knackered front track rods.  ::)

I was going to get a new set of tyres for winter, went get to it aligned as I knew the rears were scrubbing on the edges, but they couldn't shift the front track rods. Took it to my local garage and they couldn't shift them either and then couldn't fit me in to fit new ones for a couple of weeks, but I was going away, so it's turned into a bit of a saga!  ::)

They don't do deals to North Yorkshire, and that's as far as I get these days  ;D
