MOT Day

It's that time of year again when the 75 needed an MOT...It failed! I've not been able to do much work on cars this year but that's another tale. It failed on play in the NS lower wishbone ball joint, it also got an advisory on the rear brake pads. I did the wishbone and got the pass earlier, I'll do the pads in the morning and tighten the handbrake at the same time. It's the first fail since I got it and it now has 114,000 + on the clock, I don't think it's too bad. I might be keeping the Atlantic Blue one and letting the Pewter one go to a new home, I just don't now as yet but, cheaper tax and 75,000 less miles is a big point.

Atlantic Blue is now a rare sight on our roads. Keep it!

The CDT we bought a week ago is going for it's MOT in the morning as well. Have checked things as best i can but with a new acquistion it is always nerve wracking not knowing what she is really like

. Her test expired on the 18th of this month.
