A1 VR6 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Well pleased, had the car Mot'd yesterday and it passed for a 10th consecutive time. Only thing commented on was slight play in the os/r wheel bearing so I'll nip that up a bit and sorted :D I also decided to have a look at the emissions print from the first time I got one to this latest one and there is literally no variance, the car is always tested at the same garage so that looks pretty healthy too :D He also said all the bushes are in remarkably good condition as I commented that they must be due for changing soon and he's amazed that the original exhaust is still in such good condition - that is a pain as I want to get a Magnex stainless but thought I'd wait for the original to give up and it's showing no signs of doing so :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted March 30, 2008 Show off.... :) I cant grumble with a 3 out of 3 for me.. My rear axle bushes were worn but not terribly but i couldnt resist.. Just get the magnex anyway Bill, its a huge improvement over standard... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 30, 2008 Or spend a whole winter driving it round for miles. I'm sure that would help to finish it off :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 30, 2008 I will if you will :lol: My original exhaust looks looks pretty ropey but I guess I'll find out just how ropey it is in May when the MOT is due. I'll let you know if I decide take you up on that after May. :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 30, 2008 Bah ;) Its no challenge when the car is kept indoors and driven about 2000 miles a year!! :) Still - 10 years on the trot isn't bad going at all Bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted March 30, 2008 Low miles or not thats a great achievement, i hope i can sit here in 7 years and say the same... I know you arent a show off Bill, in fact i reckon you play the condition of this car down, its stunning... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Well done, Bill! None of mine have ever failed either 8) Always a relief to get through... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted March 30, 2008 My rado past first time 2 weeks back, well chuffed. First car that has done that, and a definate improvement on last year when it cost over £400 to get it through! The handbrake JUST passed, so that needs adjusting, and i have 2 rubber hangers missing off the exhaust, but he said he didnt want to fail me for that, would have been harsh. Although the exhaust definately sounds like its blowing, there is more noise from the exhaust standing at the side of the car than the back, i mentioned this but he said all the welds are fine and the emissions were spot on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
