Wish me luck!

Ben:
Well, I've just taken the series 3 in for it's MoT, which expired in December. Its been sat on the drive ever since, so I'm expecting a few reasons for it to fail. Chassis solid enough (galv'd) but I'm sure there'll be a few niggles.

It started beautifully this afternoon, and after a bit of smoke ran perfectly clearly. Better, in fact, than my TDi does sometimes!

List to follow, no doubt!

Cheers

Ben

Or the vehicles have to stick themselves together :lol:

Got the 88" to sort out for mot myself, just need to clear enough room to get to it

Ben:
Well, it nearly passed...

Fail list:
Indicators not flashing as required
Side light switch wired incorrectly (headlights come on at sidelight position and vice versa)
Windscreen washer not spraying onto window (blocked pipe)
Exhaust insecure - it's been held on by a coat hanger for the last couple of MoT's
Front brakes out of balance (one's at 100, the other's at 130)
Hand brake not effective enough & too much travel - I've just changed the shoes and not adjusted it properly.
Emissions - it's kicking out 3.7%, and should be 3.5% apparently. Then I reminded the guy it was a 1972, and he said - oh it doesn't matter then!

So I've left it with him to sort the few bits out - I don't have time to sort it for a few weeks and I'd like to get it sold fairly soon.

Very pleased so far though - cheaper than my old 90 was to get through!

Cheers
