Default M.O.T. Time

Took the car for the M.O.T last Friday and was pleasantly surprised with the result,one advisory,front nearside wheel little bit of drag while spinning ,probably sticky caliper pins I hope,will have a look this coming week.
So all my cleaning of the brake pipes and fuel lines which I'm pretty obsessed about to be truthful and general cleaning underneath must of paid off.

The emissions were very good as well,also on the drive back home my P1111 set itself after about 3 months of showing P1000 or might of set during the fast idle test(to much tech for me),anyway I'm very happy with all of that.
Now I know it's in pretty good shape it's time to undertake the rear suspension(I have noises).
Stopped on the way home to take some photo's as well.






Take Care
Be happy

We don't have anything harsh as a MOT here, just a 1/2 year check on brakes, front wheel alignment, emissions, and some other small stuff.
Useless from a technical point of view, a bother every 6 months, but at least the guys are always friendly and helpful.

Only 'failed' the first time when I just installed HID's, which are obvious not allowed here as aftermarket stuff.
They allowed me to change them to bulbs on the spot, with the kind advice to do so every time before the check, which I do .
