this could be interesting, my corrado came with a fresh mot and no advisories. i know quite a few things should have been advised on so its either gonna have a page of advisories or a dodgy mot  :laugh:

there should be a section on your MOT that says if any advises were issued. that was the only clue i got. if it was a fresh MOT i wouldn't rule out a friendly examiner for your last seller for a clean bill of health!  :wink:

I got home to find my brake lights don't work!  Good job I found out now and ordered a new pedal switch before someone ploughed into the back of me!

Fitted the new brake light switch over the weekend. 

Removing the trim panels is a fine art and some plonker before me had already damaged most of the screw fittings   :angry: 
Wasn't much fun working under there (a pain to see / get to) but got it fitted in the end.  Old black 4 pin switch replaced by massive green 4 pin switch that barely went in.  All good now!

yesterday troublestarter popped down to oxford to remedy some interesting wiring which was causing the leak into the cabin... this has now been sealed by the lovely chuff who looked after the cabby in my absence for a week - a big thank you to chuff for doing this  :kiss:

today I declared the car SORN for the winter... its such a shame as on the drive home last night it was superb!
