Another year - another MOT - PASS!
As so many of you will understand, MOT day today was anticipated with the usual sense of fear. After all, Zircon is a fairly early Cowley car, having come off the assembly line in August 1999, though not actually registered till April 2000.
And just to 'pull my leg', a number plate bulb went late last night - as if the car was suffering from nerves too (that was after I had spent a full day cleaning and hovering (actually meant 'hoovering' -but 'hovering' seems just as appropriate!) and replacing a front fog light bulb - a pig of a job as one of the retaining screw heads for the lamp unit was worn with rust - aargh). The MOT was done by an expert whom I know and trust - and I know he will be strict in his checks (there is no point I feel in turning a blind eye to something that could be dangerous). Well - the good news - the car passed the MOT - a 'minor' advisory only: one of the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints' has a 'deteriorated dust cover but preventing ingress of dirt'. Phew! All the best, Nicholas/Zircon Last edited by Zircon; 26th March 2014 at 11:05.. Reason: spelling correction - 'hoovering' for 'hovering' |

It's usually corroded brake pipes that trip these cars up, it sounds as if yours is fighting fit though Nicholas, not bad for a car that's 15 years old. Here's to another 15

And to think I spent all last year driving around Guildford in my W reg. Zircon Silver Club auto thinking I was unique. strange we never passed each other.
By the way, if you don't already know, if you ever go to Halfords looking for touch up paint code MUM, it's listed under Land Rover, not Rover. Anyway, congrats on the MOT. Alan |
