MOT..... PASSED (just)
« on: 22 February 2008, 16:01 »
WOOOO it passed!

i got issued a fail notice on headlight alignment and brake load sensing valve linkage seized.

but the nice chap adjusted my lights for free and didnt even mention the brake load sensing valve linkage to me.

advisorys both rear wheel bearings have slight play (he said easy to adjust)
screw in rear right tyre (GRRRRR)
oil leak (its 17years old)
coolant leak ( as above)

only £25! hehehe  :grin: im over the moon as i thought i was gonna fail misarabley

ITS A TRAP!

Just replace the bearings - £5 each that way it's all brand spankers and no need for adjustments and less likely to go wrong.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
