<< < (2/3) > >>

iianorthants:
i just put my series in with weeds and mud trapped underneath. MOT man was happy to see the car getting some good use  :lol:

muddyweb:
They can, and often do, refuse to perform a test if the vehicle is "excessively dirty"

I know it's not the "fun" thing to say, but always wash your vehicle after it's been off-road... underneath and on top.  Mud holds all manner of nastiness against the chassis, bushes, paintwork, leads, hoses, etc, etc.

I hate seeing Land Rovers which haven't been cleaned for weeks.... for me, the fun is in *getting* them dirty, not letting them sit there and look neglected :-(

karloss:
Theres a programme on the telly about people like you Tim. It's called grumpy old men!! :lol:  :lol:
Only kidding!

muddyweb:
I speak as I find ;-)

SPIKEY:
It's Passed :!:  :D  :D

Chassis all O.K.
Outriggers and sills O.K.
Light brakes and tyres O.K.
Emissions O.K.
Brake pipes O.K.
Bodymounts O.K.
No oil leaks ( Apart from the rear axle - blocked breather ? ) slight.

All in all I am pleased on the pass result.

The Tester commented on the cleanliness of the car.

I think the big clean up on Saturday stemmed from when I used to drive Class 1 H.G.V's for a living.

If you have ever presented a tractor unit for  a ministry test, you will know the standards required.

After the cleanup on Sat, I drove about 90 miles on Sunday, so any leaks etc. would have shown up.

1 safe car that can be used off-road, or driven on the motorway with the family in it.

Job Done :!:


Cheers,

SPIKEY.  ( Who WILL be cleaning the Range in future after going off road :oops:  :D )
