Title: MOT - with advisories
Post by: Prof on June 28, 2010, 04:14:29 PM
Well - Rixxy passed but with a couple of orange entries - front suspension basically - so I\'m addressing that with a front end refit (New bearings inner and outer, reconned A Arms, new bushes for the arms and sway bar.  That should sort it :)
 
Also got a cracked window, but I need painting done on the frame, and there is rust blister that needs addressing - so the window can get changed when the frame is sorted and painted.
 
Also going to need arches repaired before too long.
 
Next jobs are the clutch disc, new O2 wideband, new radiator and metal thermostat neck from Mazdatrix :) - finally getting rid of that plastic nonsense.
 
Then a bit of a tune up and if I can afford it get my bumper sprayed up for Rotorstock.

Yep - it did actually fail on a numberplate bulb first time round !
 
It\'s actually quite convenient for me to go there - as I work in Reading, plus always nice to catch up with Dave T - must check out his pub soon.
