Just got back from MoT and it has passed with two advisories:-

1. Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing both rear (5.2.3 (d) (ii))

2. Offside Front Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement lower arm, rear bush (5.3.4 (a) (i))

I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that the tyres are Avons.

Fortunately, I bought some front suspension bushes from Arctic's warehouse clearance sale!

Looks like you will need to replace the OFS lower arm as well Dave. Not a bad result though, all easily fixable.

Mine passed today at the second attempt, needed a nearside track rod end.

Have some advisories, Vehicle structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced nearside rear, Suspension arm corroded but not seriously weakened rear upper(both sides), Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (front, both sides).

Will order a sill repair panel tomorrow and get the rest done around February or March I think.

Hi Vince.
Just in time for the start of our Nano meets which will most likely be one day meets this year.

I think the work needed would be a bit too much to expect at a NANO meet but I'm looking forward to attending at least one before I go off narrowboating and at least one afterwards just for the social aspect.
