Fail....

....but not so bad (though it will be expensive; hope that's not too contradictory!).

In case you didn't see previous post, I finally got the car in for an MOT today, and it failed.

The deffo fail was headlight adjustment, and I was spot on with that. Already playing around with adjustment.

Another point was the o/s top balljoint having too much play - turned out to be the nut inside the upright adaptor not being tight enough. So that's already fixed, though I had to take the suspension apart.

One more small point was the drivers seat belt bolt was 90% undone, so that's fixed too.

Big thing is the noise, and it's this that's going to cost as I decided that I may as well get some proper silencers and fit them. Several reasons, but primary at the mo is the get through MOT, but will also keep me in with the neighbours, who haven't complained but could. So it'll make the car much more useable (I'll be able to go out early and come back late).

Only downside is price, but I'm hoping to haggle! Will have to do a bit of work on exhausts to make fit but hey ho

I have 10 days to get car back in for partial retest, so need to get cracka lacking!

Will post agan when all jobs done, though you may have to wait till after test:)

Tomorrow, Definately

Rang garage today only to be told no slots left so booked appointment for tomorrow!

Till then!

MOT today...

...if they can fit me in!

I've done all I can think that needed doing, now just have to keep fingers crossed. If all goes well - ie it passes, straight to the PO to get RFL, then drive to work.

:D

Nearly...

No pics unfortunately.

I was hoping to get car in for an MOT yesterday but hadn't got up early enough to get on with the few jobs I needed to.

However, I did have an excellent weekend working on the car and have just a couple of 5 min jobs to do, which I may do in a minute.

Everything painted in primer, car all cleaned, hoping for a MOT/rfl tomorrrow:D

Wish me luck!

Calmed down now...

Ok, just a little posting with a couple of the pics I put up last time - this is the cold air scoop, which is now about 95% finished.


And here's a pic of the side of the car, the bonnet now has more grey primer.

Nearly all jobs done now, just have to adjust headlight aim and tighten securing nuts. Want to paint it all in red primer, more for consistency and it'll look tidier, then a really good clean and maybe MOT/Tax next week:D

Till then...

Aaaaarrrggghhhh

Had big post, was uploading vid which took forever and never finished. Had to come out, lost entire post and I can't be bothered to redo it tonight.
