MOT today! :(

Well, the R has failed an MOT for the first time in the 3 n half years i've had it.

Bit of welding needed near the passenger seatbelt anchor point and a corroded rear brake pipe. Oh, and 3 bulbs gone :doh::lol::lol:. So all in all, not too bad. All will be done this week ready for another year, which will hopefully see some proper progress!

And, as if not having the R wasnt enough, my 406 chugger split a hose and dumped all the coolant, so I've had to drop down to third choice, the birds Ibiza 130TDi!

find someone you know fella, dread to think what mine would of failed on if i had took it someone i dont know, my tracking rods are gone for a start, and i dont have a cat, or a washer bottle to say the least, and she still passed, mot stations have got silly over the passed couple of years

An MOT means he-haw.Its just a ticket to keep it on the road legally for a year.U cud drive out the testing station and a bulb could blow or the likes.Or 2 weeks later something major could break and youll not know about it.So all this talk about getting mates to do it is just as good as getting an MOT station to do it 100% by the book.Except the latter usually screws u big time.
