At 2.30pm for my MOT.....eventually got round to booking it in......or a case of having to really....it runs out midnight Wednesday  

Just gotta give local council 139 notes in the morning......to get slip of paper to give MOT place....

Its reasonably clean but i better bung it thro a carwash in the morning.....or else it may fail for being dirty   I used to always wash it by hand......but since i had my bad leg and this cold weather ive got a bit lazy   But I found this carwash that brushes are foam and it cleans it better than i can   Plus its only £3.50 for basic wash and wheel scrub

It's been that long since you first posted about it, I've forgotten what you were worried about

Suspension/steering bits and bobs......its scuffing o/s front tyre both edges....its not underinflated.
n/s front is scuffing inside edge......that maybe geometry.

Exhaust has a bandage on it  

Tho on the bright side.....all the lights work  

Its booked in with local garage tomorrow......i told em i maybe bringing a MOT failure sheet....tho if some miracle happens and it passes.....I'll just have an oil and filter change

Best of luck, lets hope the bill is not too expensive for you tomorrow :-/ :-/

Ahhh...the exhaust bandage, I remember now.

Finally picked up the little bulb from Vx today for the fog assembly - only sold in pairs - inc 10% discount still cost me £5.44  .  Hope it sails through - clean cars always do

 :)Fingers crossed!

Well........im amazed   It PASSED  

So it appears nothing is worn underneath causing the wheel scuffing.....so has to be tracking.

And it appears that a bandage kit on the exhaust isnt a fail  :-?

Only comment I got from MOT blokey......"was keep an eye on the front tyres.....they're getting close to needing to be changed".......and thats only coz they've been scuffing.....tread in the centre is fine.

So replated for private hire for another 12 months

Congratulations, once the tracking is done all will be good

[Golfbuddy]

Well done Dave. That gives you 12 months to put all those things right then.
