MOT Sweepstake
« on: 13 August 2012, 18:49 »
Evening all,

Just a bit of fun as my MOTs booked for tomorrow, a little game of Advisory roulette.

Guess which (if any  :tongue:) advisories I get tomorrow on the mk3.

If you guess right, you'll get that warm fuzzy feeling of smug satisfaction (whilst I cry myself to sleep  :cry:)

Mine had one advisory note when it was MOT'd- 'drivers front view obstructed', was expecting loads of rust related issues though!

Turned out they meant the tomtom mount which I have on the lower right side of the windscreen- they had taken it off so it was rolling around the footwell, thought they were checking for hidden chips in the screen.

Good news that!!

My Mk3 passed first time last month also......although I did completely rebuild mine prior to it.

My Leon Cupra also passed first time in April after being abused and neglected over winter. What a car!!
