Smile 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.

Well done that man!

The bad news is when you hit half a million miles I bet you'll have to the OTHER b!oody front wheel bearing....!

Happy Roving

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
