Update on the MOT. Had it in last week. Failed on rear indicator bulbs, Handbrake nearside, Rear centre seatbelt missing (apparently it's listed to check so whoever removed it is going to burn in hell cos it's cost me a replacement seat back!) and major gas leak from exhaust which wouldn't allow the...

It's almost ready for MOT having spent many hours fettling bits and pieces. I have one issue remaining - Th...
