MOT pass

Ennine · 4th September 2015, 13:46

That's it for another year. No advisories.

This year I have fitted
New front struts, springs top bearings (dust covers, pinch bolts etc) drop links and track rod ends.
Replaced lower engine mount (although the old one was fine)
Replaced crankshaft pulley/damper (although it only had a very slight rattle)
How much spent this year ? I'm not counting the NAV 2 as that was a want, not a need.
£600 + MOT £50
What could I buy for £650 ?

Ouch. To be fair none of it was done for mot purposes. I've had a slightly clunky top bearing for two years and it needed doing and the dust cover was adrift on that side so decided to renew the lot a couple of months back. MOT tester said the car was spot on mechanically. My boy's ZTT went through yesterday needing a tyre to pass.

Pass again today. Two advisories. drop links front (only did those last year) and rear tyres nearing the end of life. Usual comment "great condition"
Fours years and going strong
