Shiny new MOT on the BMW 530d 

Well a few advisories, so not that shiny really, but a pass is a pass!

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


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!

I've decided it was time for more electricity for it.

Yes, lots of older people use Saga when they go away.

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

Another week, so Chiltern oppsing Railways again.

Piss up and brewery spring to mind

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

New pair of headlight bulb in the little roller skate, also topped up fluids - they do tend to use a bit of oil.
It has a major issue now though. The electric PAS motor has become very noisy, and replacing it involves removing the whole dash before even starting to remove it, which also means removing the steering column, as the motor and column need to be kept as one unit.
So, do I bother ?
Or do I call it a day and replace it with something like this.

I get free charging at work, so economically, it makes sense. 

My heart would rather buy this though.

The *irritating noise* that my windscreen wipers made was getting on my nerves so I bought new wipers. I haven't fitted them yet as since I bought new wipers the old one's have been silent.

I have short temper issues and many years ago, the windscreen wipers were grating across the windscreen of one of my mini's when it was pissing down with rain. The continuous irritating noise was driving me mad ........ so I punched the screen in anger ...... and smashed the windscreen.    So, not only was I angry,  I was wet as well. My Mrs was not impressed.    So, when the Audi wipers started screeching across the screen, she said "Let's go to Halfords NOW!

Washed the ML. Probably the 3rd time since buying it... In August 

Apparently it's silver

Tell your missus she needn't worry. Windscreens are much tougher than they used to be, you are a lot older than you used to be, so you'd probably just smash your knuckles up a bit.........and cry like a baby

Now you mention it, I am quite an emotional chap.
