MOT Failure advice

[mk2bal]

Preventative maintenance is the key. I'm always tinkering with my '91, but that's why she sails through mots now.. Going in for underseal when weather warms up, as I'd rather that than start to need welding come mot time etc.. I may thrash her to an indicated 130mph most days, but with a couple of genuine oil changes a year, fluid levels always checked, no ragging until right upto temp, and lots of inspections means that she still purrs like a kitten. Old bangers my arse mines more reliable than the 10year old un-maintained cars my workmates/friends  have.. They ask me how my g looks so clean and tidy and looked after, its because I clean tidy + look after it!!

No not pushed mine to 130 yet plenty of pull though, looking forward to getting it back and re newing the insurance up to 3k miles a year just because i want to drive it more The Saab is a little boring but gets the greyhound in easy enough

Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh 12 months MOT, had to change my leather 16v steering wheel cos the bloody horn wont work on it love that wheel too

Anyway... Now got 12 months of motoring for £40 spent on  mot failure bits, bargain

New MOT certificates are cheap and nasty now too, u seen them? just a sheet of paper in black and white, times are hard now, no colour too costly

Thanks for all the advice guys....
