Hi Andy. I know the regs changed for the mot but I don’t understand why you got an advisory for having the brake lines covered in Waxoyle
. Mine have been covered in Waxoyle since I had the car 12 years ago, and are recovered every year, and nothing was said in March this year about them being Waxoyled.
Preventative maintenance is a pandora’s box I have found. I did that with front droplinks on mine, but I kept them because they were still ok. Glad I did. The Delphi droprubbish I put on lasted less than 1 year on the one side, it was replaced by putting one of the old ones back on that had already done around 90.000 miles. So I would say from my experience leave well alone. I do agree with Artic(Steve) that the starter could be refurbed with the kit which I have had for two years to do.
