Lude Generation

last week, I booked Lisa's lude in for an mot at 0930 tomorrow (/today) and it's about an hours drive away in rush hour traffic. Car hasn't been out on the road since the mimms monsoon. Earlier this evening I decided to give it a pre-check over on the drive, just to make sure all was hunky-doory... Tyre needed pumping up, fog light bulb needed changing (had a spare), all sorted

Went to the pub for a couple of drinks with a mate, got home and thought I'd better swap the cars round before it frosts, so I don't have to defrost 2 in the morning (Lisa's was buried at the back of the drive)...


I'd forgotten the 4ws is shagged and I also have to swap the plates.


Early one for me in the morning then, digging round in the shed for the plates and hoping that frantically slaving in a spare 4ws ecu works!

If it comes to it I suppose you could pull the bulb just for the MOT

Yeah last resort...

What a knob though, all this being organised and in good time etc. (mot doesn't even run out till 18th) and I drokk up like that!

You fixed it yet?

Made it here 15 mins early and had time to get maccy D's breakfast on the way

Thanks to @bludge for the 4ws ecu

so it past the MOT?

There's always time for a maccy D's breakfast!

Good job.

Bet it fails on a windscreen wiper now.

Patience, patience... It's only just gone on the ramp!

My money's on the usual bloody rear brakes, if anything. Possibly suspension joint or Cv gaitor (everything rubber on this car is pretty perished).

But who knows?!

Advisory on crap handbrake and perished track rod gaitors...
