my dealer launch MOT day yesterday (V114HDY)

Well it went for an MOT yesterday and failed

On a numberplate bulb

So now have another year MOT and to boot no advisory either.
On a 17 year old car I think that's pretty good.
The garage said that these cars are usually good but have had some with rear arms gone.

Really happy and now that means once I've got my vitesse MOTD I'm going to put my other launch car in to see what's needed.

Goo work. Some Serpents would look lovely on that, Thomas.

That's great news Thomas, hopefully 2nd launch car will do the same

Thanks Ravinder I must admit I have a set of serpents in the garage which a member bought but have not heard anything for over a year

Thankyou it's the longest I've had a car and as said many times on here it's a keeper. Thanks again Thomas

Good news to hear, Thomas.
That is a lovely car that you have.

Ain't that the truth. I had to have both my rear upper suspension arms replaced, to get it through the MOT, this year.

One was a fail and the other was an advisory.

The car is worth it though!
