M.O.T. lottery

Oddly, the advisories on last year's MOT on my Golf, did not appear this year, despite me doing FA about them. - Largely because the car has done almost 200k and is 18 years old. Consequently I had resigned myself to a catastrophic fail. Weirdly, none of the advisories reappeared and it failed on track rod end bushes. - Which was easily fixable.

A good few years ago I was once advised of slight corrosion on a brake pipe when I had my then car tested, I never did anything about it at the time and it was never mentioned again at any of the subsequent MOT tests on the same car at the same garage.

Well, the day is drawing near and I'm getting nervous. Everything that can be has been checked. On the day I'll make sure it's good and hot and the brakes have been worked a good few times.

Mrs D is tempting fate. Shes given me £100 cash to pay for the test and any minor tweaks.

You should have enough left for a pie & a pint (of orange squash) at the Flatulent Ferret on the way home..

Right, car dropped off at the MOT station. I've popped next door for a fry up at the greasy spoon while I ensure the tense wait. I'll keep you updated by the magic of a 4G tablet.

Nerves...frayed...hands...shaking...forehead...swearing...

Fry up and coffee finished, back to the M.O.T. waiting room for the wait of agony.

 

[Drago]

It passed! No advisories!
