Yay... a years ticket (after a little work)
Happy Bunny as my tourer has got a years ticket.
Needed a few little bits to get the MOT: Complete rear brake set up - Discs, Pads & H/Brake shoes Front wheel bearing as was a bit grumbly Rear spring as broken (I had checked but didn't see it was broken) Not the cheapest MOT I've had on the car, but it's nearly 14 years old, and has got just under 247,000 miles on the clock I'm happy. Got one advisory which I will do (rear anti-roll bar bushes are worn) as I have a set of these.

If the car get's to 500k, then I don't have any issues changing the other wheel bearing

247,000 miles, that's impressive and for that mileage that's good value spending and
not frightening work, wear and tear for that mileage. well done macafee2 |
