MOT Today.....Gus was well behaved.

[David Nock (RIP)]

Went for test this morning. All lovely except the tester started making tut tuts about steering wheel play. :mad:

I told him the old joke about it\'s a democracy and there\'s always a vote to decide where a 1st Gen car is going.....1 vote for the driver but 1 vote for the car.

Well the tester wasn\'t impressed and went off for his manual, in the meantime I fiddled the wheel (sort of while Rome burned), oh dear, about 30mm total side to side.

The tester comes back "it\'s about on the limit mate.....for a steering rack. A steering box system is 75mm".

Good God, the MOT people who scrutinise the written standards must all have 1940\'s Land Rovers!

But great relief, off we go Gus and I, not even any advisories..:WaveBye

Well done and here\'s to another years happy motoring.................

That tester would have had a nervous breakdown if he\'d seen the play in my steering.
