new mot,no advisorys [after a bit of work]

jasonp · Oct 10, 2012

hiya car passed mot with no advisorys today[new white mot with a big box for advisorys], needed a bit of work doing before,starting with new anti roll bar,bracket,bushes, sunroof sorted [as actuators were not extending]both front wheel bearings adjusted,headlamp adjusted,bulbs for rear fog lamp and nearside indicator and front position lamp, new rear wiper,electrical fault found and corrected, same mot tester has been testing her since i took ownership[very strict by all accounts], so all ok for another year ,advised to have her serviced in the summer and to drive her more,just over 168,000, always seems to drive better when been in the mechanics but that could be psycho-symatic lol, nice couple of coats of wax at the weekend,,,cheers all,regards jason p

I'm glad it did pass Jason after all the work you've done!

I think cars do know when you've had work done on them, they thank you - they also do benefit from regular driving so good advice he gave you [

I wrote a thread about exactly that a while ago, here:

... and everyone laughed at me for it! [

Good result Jason. Shame it needed the work in the first place tho'! Answer: drive the old girl more. You know it makes sense.

I wasn't one of the mockers [

It's so true, cars just know when they're treated right, they must have feelings or something!

Right, where's that straight jacket.... Lol
