This is how MOT\'s should happen
1 - leave car on front garden covered up most of the time
2 - last outting was to the rising sun car show
3 - came home and put the car away
4 - this morning got up , removed cover and drove to MOT station
5 - and it passed :D :D
6 - no prep work , didnt check the lights or anything and it passed .. WOOOHOOOOO !
the only thing he did mention is that the brakes look pitted and the back brakes are tight
but they worked just fine on the rollers and if anything - the handbrake now works sooo much better
looks like they freed it up just by putting a lot of pressure on it for the brake test
so thats it - another 12 months motoring , might tax it later today ( not bad £120 for the year ) - its been insured all ready - so bring on summer and Rotorstock :D
Stu
nice one Stu
Cheers Pete
it passed first time last year aswell - i think this FC is a "good" one :D
Well done - always a relief when they pass :)
Getting mine all prepped ready for MOT - hoping there are no silly issues this year - and going to try and get it through with the HID\'s in this year ;)
Heh,are MOTs a problem? Last Friday was the second year running mine has passed without a single advisory. :D
Good work Stu :)
Whats wrong with the HID\'s then Prof?

Nothing this time I hope - beam pattern is good, and being the motorised ones, the brightness doesn\'t change on Hi-Beam (had wussy halogen\'s in before)

is that a FC ?
it can be a problem esp with mine purely down to lack of use - one that is used weekly or daily will have no issues with brakes and thing seizing ! :D
Great news. Did Richard do it ?? Nice to see its a good one !
Shaun
yeah he did actually - was nice to see him again aswell ! :D
Well done Stu - Happy motoring :3gears-lh
Nice one matey. Thats good news now you can tuck it away again for another 12 months!
thats the one matey - you hit the nail on the head
i have managed to do about 800-900 miles since its last mot - and 160 was the wakefield meet a few weeks back

and now I have Prof\'s wussy halogens in my FC now lol :D
I reckon it was that coat of polish I forced you to do at the Rising Sun Show !!
Nice one though Stu, bit of a relief I bet. Mine is on Thursday but the only thing that changed in the last 2000 miles is that I have gone de-cat and the MOT man says that this should not make any difference to the emissions........we\'ll see !!
im sure taking a clean car to the mot make a huge difference
i asked about the front wing and he says its water under the paint and its not drying out - this could be a downside to keeping it covered up :(
My cab passed too a couple of weeks ago :) It was good to go out for a drive! :3gears-rh I was missing the 2nd gens! :InLove
What\'s the matter with your wing Stu? Are you making sure that you are only putting the covers on when she\'s bone dry? Also that you have some old sheets on her first? Is the paint original there or re-sprayed?
Lynn
:)
i have no idea about the paint
the cover goes on when its dry - but i reckon its condensation underneath
i only have one sheet on it - and that covers the roof and boot - dont have one over the front
the cover isnt the best fit and if its really windy the sheet manages to slip off the car
i will get some more one day !
the paint doesnt really bother me to be honest - yeah it spoils the look - but for the price of the car - im OK with it
and im not sure if its the original paint - it has had some panels resprayed at one time - just not sure which ones !!
good to hear stu that it passed no problems. get ready for some summer cruising!
ohh yeah matey :D :D
