chuffed

Post by kevtherev »

had the car just over 12 months and took it for the dreaded mot today and stone the crows IT PASSED :cheesy:
bit of gentle persuasion with the tester on the tyres, put the spare on o/s/r as that was split on the inside and an advisory on n/s/f tyre
rear brakes only just scraped it too just about adequate, told me to clean the drums out, lamba test was looking dodgy too but it passed he said the cat wasnt up to temp at the start of the test
i thought it would fail on the front tyre, exhaust (sounds like its blowin bad but obviously not :? ) and a rear drop link but its all good under there
i was dreadin it truth be told as me last car a poxhall corsa was 200-300 quid every year for the last 4 years i had it, that thing ate coil springs i had them all replaced during my ownership
so yep one happy chappy , just got to get a couple of tyres in the next month or so, but i got that nice green certificate 8)
