Default Another MOT pass

Another years MOT not a clean sheet but nothing major

Advisories for
Brake pads wearing thin front and rear
1 front tyre wear on edge
Slight play in rear wheel bearing
Break imbalance rear only just met.

So a pleasant days work to sort when the weather improves.

Oh and at 209393 miles diesels emissions were 0.01 🙂

Scott

Thumbs up

Could have been worse Scott. The brake imbalance probably the worse, but that may be alright when you do the pads and check the pistons are moving ok in the calipers. Rear wheel bearing may just need nipping up now it's all settled in.

Yep will strip the brakes and see what's what, changed 1 caliper 18 months ago so could be the other one it's been on for 60000 miles of my ownership and the car was on 150000 when I brought it.

Looking through my records the brakes where all changed for mintex discs and pads 30,000 miles depending on how it goes will get the wheels off and have a look this weekend. See how thin the are.

The wheel bearing was a £25 eBay jobby and has done 45000 so can't complain !
