Default Judgement day today

Took the MG ZT 2LTR D for it's MOT.I brought it last November and saved it from going to the scrap heap
All i done was change the rear springs,Upper suspension arms and bush,Rear backplates and Handbrake mechanism,Lowered the subframe and cleaned up,Replaced both drop links and cleaned the anti roll bar,Replaced both rear ABS sensors,cleaned the rear discs and calipers.Then on the front changed the front springs and dampers,had trouble getting a wheel stud undone,changed the drop links,cleaned the brake discs and calipers,also had 2 slow punctures repaired (rims needed cleaning and tyres reseating),Drained out the old brake fluid and replaced with new.cleaned the headlights as they were yellowish.
After all this work it still Failed the MOT,Handbrake not adjusted up enough ,got garage to adjust it, now i have 12months MOT

You left the garage the easy job

Well done on the pass, and well done on saving another one.

Just reward for all your efforts.

Hope to see you at a Nano soon - maybe get a handbrake compensator fitted (if you haven't already ) so it'll be good for years.
