MOT Time..........

[BinoX]

Try and see if you can beat me \'passenger seat missing\' advisory I had on mine a few years back :rollin

I didn\'t even know that could be an advisory.... That sounds like a good one, might do that myself next year, lol

Yeah, I had similar... Forgot to bolt the passenger seatbelt back in so it was dangling loose. Insta-fail...


Good luck Grinder!

OK , back home .. and whats with the naff MOT print out these days

Yeah it passed

It wont next year though needs some welding doing , its still solid as much as he could hit it , but he says it needs sorting out

Brakes were just about OK , but its only been out a few times in the last 6-7 months so that doesnt shock me

So , i can run it for another 12 months at least

well done, I know how you feel I took my one for an MOT yesterday, it passed with some explanation about emmissions, but the waiting seemed to take for ever

[BinoX]

Congrats
 
Not really surprised about the welding, seems that welding should be part of the yearly service with these cars, but it\'s all part of the fun
 
Time to get on with the fitting of yer extras

:guinness:cheers Woo Hoo :guinness:guinness
 
Excellent.  Another years motoring...

[grinder]

ohh yes , thanks for the post guys

Just a shame that is consitantly raining here at the mo .. might see what sat / sun bring and try and get the bov and cone filter on and the FCD and see if its any quicker

whilst it was on the ramps i have a look underneath , its already running a straight thru down pipe and centre decat.. so its all ready for some more boost

[wolfie1]

the new mot cert is a bit of a joke! being an mot tester myself i voiced my concerns to vosa about these and the answer i got back was its up to the owner of the car to phone up and check out if the cert is genuine then they said that its a vosa only font that is used

[wolfie1]

oh and thats good it passed

Congratulations Stu. Need to get mine done now. Its due on the 23rd but it ain\'t gonna get done for then

[grinder]

mine was only due at the start of July , but for some reason really wanted to see if it would pass or fail

the underside of it is looking really sorry for itself .. and im not sure what to do with it ( based on that working on the underside of a car on a driveway isnt the easiest job to begin with )

[BinoX]

The best I can suggest is, large wire brush to start and then waxoyl... I\'m planning on doing that on my garage floor this summer...
 
Got a couple of those drive on ramp things recently, they\'ll help a lot
 
These things (But I got them locally for cheap):

[grinder]

yeah i have a couple of those kicking around

it still the same old issue , only gets the car about 12 inchs off the floor .
