Default Combine your Service with your MOT.

I have for while now bleated on about combining your yearly service within the same week or a week before your MOT is due, this will help your car get through it's MOT.

As well as doing all the checks lights, tyres, brake lines, all rubber boots & drive shaft boots, changing out the air, oil, PCV fuel filters, adding new oil etc, dropping in a bottle of the above linked, then at least 30 minutes before your mot take car for a good 10 mile drive, while driving it like you have stole it, Italian tune up.

Air Filter
1

PCV filter even though mine was fairly clean from last year i still changed it.
2

You can see its still blue.
3

White one in it's place this time round.
4

Oil filter change cleaning out the pot also before adding a new filter.
5

6

Renew all the O-rings on the filter cap.
7

smearing the O-rings with some new oil before fitting.
8

9

Put filter into the pot not on the cap.

11

Then add the cap.

This time round i did not change the manifold , EGR or MAP sensor as they were still very clean.
