MOT 2nd May

Andy_with_a_screwdriver · 1st May 2019, 22:24

Mot booked for 08:00. I'll be up early tomorrow to give the 75 a good blast up the dual carriageway before it's test.

Over the last month and a bit I've replaced the following:
- crankshaft damper pulley
- both front springs
- both front arb droplinks
- both track rod ends
- oil and filter change
- air and pcv filter
- Renault 5 in-line stat fitted and coolant changed

Hope it doesn't have to go off the road, I've just stumped up my £300 for road tax today

Hopefully be ok, but time will tell..

My diesel passed yesterday, guy who presents it fitted 2 lower wishbone bushes (DMGRS) prior to test. Advisory on brake pipes. So, check, test and labour £117.50. I like to source the parts myself and he's fine with that.

Just had the good news, passed.

one advisory for a rear tyre wearing on one edge.

Well done that car. I really don't like MOT's, it's about how much the day costs more than anything. I always have a 'real' test, owning the 75 is more about cheap motoring for me rather than how much polish is on it.

I did the three Swiss passes in one day once - Phew! An MOT pass is just as hard these days! Well done.
