Dreaded MOT!!
« on: 07 December 2010, 20:09 »
Got the dreaded MOT 2moro  :sad:

The only thing I can see is possibly 2 new front tyres but my cars seem to have a nasty habit of having other problems come MOT time. Wish me luck  :undecided:

My problem with MOT's is that they usually end up expensive, LOL! Think in 8 years driving, only once, has a car gone straight through. That was my Audi A4. Fingers crossed tho. Do you have to be able to open the windows to pass an MOT? Bit of a stupid question I know but the window regulator has packed up and I've managed to patch it up and keep the window up at the mo.

Did you replace the whole panel? How much was it if you don't mind me asking and where did you get it from?
