KevinH The car was booked in for it's MOT today at my local Vx dealers and.... it passed with no advisories 🙂 I guess that's not bad for the 11th MOT (14 yrs old).

KevinH @[deleted] hope it passes with no issues - I'm sure it will.🙂 Why are MOT's such worrying times ?
5M1THY It also helps having a dad that does your mots 🙂 I've never had an advisory in my life lol he did bring my old escort home and told me to weigh it in after putting his foot through the floor though lol

Timbo Well, mine passed yesterday. Just had a slight weep on the rear caliper union - my fault, I didn't use new washers! Cost me an extra 40 quid :arghh:
HarleyPete Oh dear Kev, that was a costly omission wasn't it. Must admit, I always like copper washers on brake unions. Heat them cherry red and let them cool down then you can reuse them.

Timbo HarleyPete said: True although I've seen them just heated and left to cool as well. Water cooling makes the copper softer and more malleable than air cooling, but both work.
KevinH Well, at the Vx dealers the car passed its MOT again today 🙂 - I was convinced it was going to fail on something.
Dave_Gilbert Both mine are due early march. Need to get insurance before i can take mine. I bet its only done 1500miles since the last mot the corsa has done 5500 this year (3000ish last) I hope they both pass
