M.O.T. NEXT WEEK !!!!

(1/3) > >>

SPIKEY:
Oh No. The test is due on the Range next week.

I had a quick look underneath to-day and  :roll:  shock, horror, yes what a mess.

Because I do not really clean the car when I have been off-road, I haven't noticed the weeds, mud, and debris  tucked into places you would not believe :shock:

Into work in the morning. :(
Lift the car up on the forklift.
Stick some diesel in the steamer.
Stick loads of T.F.R. in a spray bottle.
Give it a good wash and hope for the best :!:

Any-thing to look out for that may fail the test ?
It flew through last year, and there have been no major problems in 12 months.

The chassis, bodymounts, and outriggers are all o.k. as well as the brakes.

I am putting the Range into a ' proper'  M.O.T. station.
After all, we all know some-one who can get M.O.T.'s for a drink, but what price do you put on your family's safety ?

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,

SPIKEY.

hobbit:
Good luck mate

May the rust gremlins be kept well away of your machine :wink:

So true. I'd prefer to pay a few extra pounds (or hundreds) and be safe

SPIKEY:
7 Hours to clean my car  :!:

The boss 'phoned at 9 o-clock and said he would be late.
As I have got keys (GRR!) and was on my way to work,a delay was on the cards.
To cut the bad day short, this is what happened :

The forklift ran out of diesel.
I took the air -flow meter off the car BEFORE I cleaned the engine ( and wrapped all the plugs, dissy,  and sealed the plenum up etc.) and the car still did not start :!:

After an hour in the sun, the car fired up .

The axles, chassis, tank, arches, springs, shockers, and everything else are now clean :lol:

The only complaint from to-day is that the garage where I buy Red diesel from had run out to-day :evil:

10 quid to fill up half a jerrycan, instead of 7 and a half quid to fill the j/c up.

All in all, a Knackering unpaid day, making sure my old Vogue is fit for the road.

I'll keep you posted.


Cheers,

SPIKEY. (washing his Range once a year :D )

robbie:
Did you need to clean the underside for the MOT.... my my, the mechanics down your neck of the woods are fussy ones arent they :)

Good luck on the test  :wink:
