MOT time ...

[grinder]

Well the RX has been in for the MOT today ...

AND PASSED

Got some verbal advisories for it being scabby underneath , but apart from that its a pass

Happy Days ( well 365 of them !! )

Cool always a nice feeling a mot pass!

Waxoyl that underside cracking stuff!

[clive]

a pass is a pass :Thumbsup!

[shaunwil]

Richard back off his hols ?

Shaun

[grinder]

thats the plan .. get it coated in underseal - might have to scrape some of the lose stuff off first

And yes Shaun he is

[Prof]

When I finally get around to doing the underside of phoenix, I am going with POR-15 on the rust treated surfaces, and then waxoyl over that, should keep it out of trouble for a few years.
 
glad it passed, you\'ve had a good year for getting out in it!

[grinder]

Not a bad idea at all with the POR .. might have to price some up

[Casey]

Congrats on the MOT pass, always a relief :Thumbs-up

I\'m using POR15 on the underside on my FB. Expensive stuff, but it goes a long way. Surface prep is critical, but if done right, this stuff acts like a ceramic hard coat. Don\'t get any POR15 on your skin, as it won\'t come off for weeks

[Prof]

Not a bad idea at all with the POR .. might have to price some up

knowing your keen eye for a bargain, buy it in smaller tins - once you open it, you\'ll need to use the whole tin or throw it, as it goes off in the air!

[grinder]

when you say "prep" can you expand on that

I got mine from these guys as they are only just down the road from me. I went with the 6 smaller sized tins and obviously the prep bottles also:)

waxoyl.....splash it every where except brakes. hose ferrules exhaust joints...brakes pipes...does the lot! I waxoyled an mx5 a few year back and it stored it for winter in the works car park ....it flooded to cills inside and out! went though 2 mots no issues!
