My baby is having her first MOT in 5 years today, keep your fingers crossed for her guys and gals!

Pretty apprehensive over the emissions and the dubious power steering but only time will tell.

Thanks for the link, I explained it all to the tester, thankfully he seemed to get it. Turns out hes a bit of a Honda nut as well,... though Civics not the noble Lude!

It should get through the emission test then

May the gods of MOT smile upon you and shower you with their blessings.

Well she passed the emission test... barely... however 4 majors and a list of minors... going to be a busy few days sorting out this nest of vipers.

A pass is a pass

at least thats one less thing to worry about!

what did it fail on - im guessing brakes would be one of them

Emissions will get better with use.

Yeah i was fairly happy when I went to pick it up this afternoon, nothing that cant be sorted within 10 days for the retest I think.

001 - Power steering pump drive system missing ( well i did take the belt off ... )
002 - Brake disc seriously weakened both sides rear.
003 - front suspension excessive play in upper ball joint.. nearside front.

A load of advisorys like 'exhaust noisy' .. and sadly 1 of my rear teins has started dribbling a bit apparently.

All in all a fun weekend ahead!

good guess on the brakes by the way

no surprises there though

should be pretty easy to sort that lot
