What size Andy ? That seems a really good price for Continentals, I struggle to get mid range tyres for less, let alone premiums. Mine are an odd size though, 215/45/18s , they're not a common size...so I've.peobably answered my own question

The prize Honda CR-V I won back in 2022 had it's MOT this morning. It passed with no advisories.
Was it a brand new CRV you won?

IIRC he had a choice of motors up to a certain value and the CRV was a year or 18 mknths old...?

It was 2 years old, with 3000 miles. I won £30,000 to spend on a car thanks to ITV and Cinch.

The Merc E220 is off for it's annual guessing game tomorrow. In recent weeks it's had new rear discs and pads, new suspension drop links front and rear and today it got new parking brake shoes. The shoes should have been done whilst the discs were being changed but I bought the wrong ones so had to wait for replacements to arrive 
As far as I can tell there's nowt to fail it on ... but you never know. Fingers crossed 🤞 and Hail Mary's said

My old car I sold last year before it's MOT is due by the end of the month. Passed with no advisories last year (after I sold it to WBAC), so let's see what the new owner does. Nosey, me ?

Woo-Hoo! Another PASS today - not entirely clear but a pass is a pass 
The tester said that when he saw the mileage on the clock he though "Uh-Oh, this could be dodgy" but aside from two very minor things "the car is in great nick and obviously well cared for".
Many E-class with the OM651 engine suffer a slight oil leak from the back of the engine and mine is no different. It's a major amount of work (engine out) to remedy what is such a slight loss of oil that you can't see the level drop on the dip stick between services. Mine has been marking his territory on the drive for about ten months ... and will continue to do so. The other issue mentioned is that both front wheel bearing need adjusting so that's a job for the weekend (weather permitting). When it was on the lift yesterday I couldn't feel anything but who am I to argue 🤷♀️
