3rd MOT pass for September

75driver · 29th September 2018, 13:10

The silver saloon was the 3rd of the fleet to pass MOT in September.😅
The tourer and the E220, passed earlier in the month.😄
Was surprised at the Merc though, as I found out It had 2 broken rear springs the day before the test, and hadn’t time to do anything about it.😱
Might try the loto tonight.😬😬
Now just the gold saloon and mrs 75drivers jeep to MOT in October.😰
It never ends....

Jolly good work. I feel your pain with the Merc springs - I've just put my 75 Tourer through the test and although I knew one rear spring was broken, it was a surprise that it was broken at the top AND bottom, and the other one was also broken at the bottom....

I hope it's as easy to replace the Merc springs as it is the Rover ones!

Hope so, but I’m not sure if I’ll tackle it.
I’m a bit weary of springs at the moment, having changed front and rear on both of the 75 saloons lately.🙄
I made a poor choice for the front spring on the gold saloon, as it sits a bit low for my liking, so those will need done again.😤

Mrs 75drivers jeep passed MOT a few weeks ago, and the gold saloon passed today. MOT man gave me a bit of leeway on the N/S headlight though, as it was a bit too high, 🤭 so I’ll get that sorted shortly.
Merc has been sorned for winter, so I’ll leave replacement of springs until.. well... spring.😬
