MOT booked for the morning

David Lawrence · 24th July 2017, 16:25

For the last 25 years i have been using the same MOT 0nly place, Queens Cross in Brynbo, and always had the very best service from him.

This year i just cant get hold of him, and his place is all locked up, i have had to book with a new place. After 25 years it is quite a nervous moment to start somewhere else....

Luckily i have found another MOT only place, so will see what he says.

May I wish you the very best of luck. Sadly in MOT tests there are just too many areas where it's up to what the tester thinks like the colour of those stupid orange tinted bulbs.

Thats an example of how good my last tester was, he would have given me a new set of orange bulbs to sort it there and then.

Another straight pass for the 52 plate wedgie blue connie SE.

The new place is pretty good, and completed the test with no advisories at all.

Thanks Mickey, the new calipers will be needed to get my second car through. One is sticking on. Also needs a drop link replacing. The calipers should be in argos for me this afternoon according to the tracking. I am planning to do the electrolysis trick then refurbish with new pistons seals and sliders, then hopefully be good as new.

Well done on the pass.
