Default No Longer A Shed She Lives And Breathes

Finally after about 8 months of owning my Tourer I got to drive it today and took it for an MOT. OMG I was stressed.


It passed, emissions were very good. I think the injector cleaner really did a good job, smoke, what smoke ...none

Whilst I am delighted and I know I could not have done it without help and advice from people here, it does have some advisories.

Rear drop link ball joint covers, repair asap

Monitor and repair as required :-
Rear Passenger seat belt webbing slightly damaged. Looks as if it has been run against something pointed
Headlights need polishing
D rubber on rear anti roll bar has some play
Rear offside tyre close to legal limit

I was aware of headlights and rear tyre.

Now to search for the spare parts and tax it but thank you for your help and support.

Well done

yes they very one.
I've ordered drop links and bushes from DMGRS and am now hunting a rear nearside Tourer seat belt. I was hoping it would be the same as the saloon but it's not.
Local breakers don't have any 75's it seems.

Tyres will wait for a few weeks as I'm not going to be using the car until December, I'll tax it then, not wasting 3 weeks on November.

Try contacting the traders here directly, I've found that usually gives the best results.
