Default MOT time again

It is that time of year again, been working today but tomorrow have to devote some time to the old girl, first is ditch the 31's shame but they are all worn out, got some standard size replacements two nearly new and two half worn, replace broken OSF indicator (horseshoe lane casualty) adjust HB, check head light alignment as OS seems aimed too far NS, check rear bumper security, got another complete to go on but not now, refit rear number plate, patch up small blow to the exhaust I welded up before Wales W/E, re do gaffa tape to front wings, got two wings to go on but again not now, general look round and try and book it in for Tuesday as only day I can pinch Mrs car, MOT is up on Thursday, Rick

Hopefully all sorted today, front pads shot but will not change them till after the test, rear brakes getting very rusty after the water in Wales, so spray grease all round, good news is it has never been cleaner under than now, doing our "lane" several times a day leads to very heavy build up of underside crud, MOT man will be pleased, will ring first thing am for a booking, Rick

All good for another year, advisories, cracked number plate (I wonder why?) slight blow from rear exhaust, (where I welded up rust before the Wales meet) slight play in steering (not surprised after Wales) sorry no pics just far too much on, borrowed wife's motor today, knew she had a very slow leak to NSR but on getting to the job NSF looked rather low, on checking a while later it was lower, and my air pump is in my motor, so nothing for it but to take it to my mates tyre place around the corner and leave it there for the rest of the day, packed up at 7pm today, Rick
