MOT 2nd May
 

Mot booked for 08:00. I'll be up early tomorrow to give the 75 a good blast up the dual carriageway before it's test.

Over the last month and a bit I've replaced the following:
- crankshaft damper pulley
- both front springs
- both front arb droplinks
- both track rod ends
- oil and filter change
- air and pcv filter
- Renault 5 in-line stat fitted and coolant changed


Hope it doesn't have to go off the road, I've just stumped up my £300 for road tax today;)
Hopefully be ok, but time will tell..:shrug:

My diesel passed yesterday, guy who presents it fitted 2 lower wishbone bushes (DMGRS) prior to test. Advisory on brake pipes. So, check, test and labour £117.50. I like to source the parts myself and he's fine with that.

Just had the good news, passed.:}

one advisory for a rear tyre wearing on one edge.

Well done that car. I really don't like MOT's, it's about how much the day costs more than anything. I always have a 'real' test, owning the 75 is more about cheap motoring for me rather than how much polish is on it.

Congratulations mate! Enjoy your day! :wine:

I did the three Swiss passes in one day once - Phew! An MOT pass is just as hard these days! Well done.:D

That's not me by the way!!!

Was a bit touch and go this morning as the airbag light was on again this week. :eek:
I was out early disconnecting and reconnecting the airbag sensor plugs under the seat, cleaned it all with contact cleaner spray but the light wouldn't go out:eek: Despite repeated attempts no luck

Decided to take it in regardless, and went for a run to warm up, and the airbag light stayed on. I parked at MOT garage with light on and fearing the worse switched engine off.

I then decided to restart the car and move it further into garage and miraculously the airbag light stayed off this time!!! :shrug: :shrug:

Not wanting to temp fate I just left it running and let the tester get on with it. ;)

Did a few trips after the MOT an it seems to be staying off, for the time being anyway....:}

Mine passed a few minutes ago, no advisories, 0.03 opacity - slightly up, I think it showed 0.02 last year. I have done nothing to it MOT related now for several years, not even a new bulb. In fact I have never needed to change a lamp bulb on it, ever.
