MOT Update

Post by CountryPug »

Well guys, my 406 has failed :(

I thought I'd covered all areas - New timing belt, new auxilary belt, new fuel filter housing, new rear brake pads, new tyre, new seal were the driveshaft meets the gearbox, new gearbox oil, new engine oil, new bulbs in the rear light clusters...

Missed the corroding brake pipes hidden around the fuel tank :frown:

Thats another £18.50 for a re-test then...lol
