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!

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

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
