nope quite happy with that

Nice easy jobs and not a welder in site

Not bad, and no big expensive or time consuming stuff

mmmm I could well be

Thats nuthin! my series 3 went in 3 times - passed third time. kept going outside the 10 days for retest (due to weather and/or delay in parts arriving) - So it would go in and get a full re-test and he'd find some other bloody thing wrong!
-Still its sorted now (i'll go over it with a fine bloody toothcomb next time!)

mugsey... There'd be serious tantrums going if an MOT tester did that to me! I hope you questioned his ability to do his job if he didn't pick everything up first time round?

I think i'd have had to have taken it elsewhere!


Rich - sorted it yet?

Suerly you new the hand break didnt hold, very lazy not even checking the lights before hand and I thought you were up to speed with your wheel bearings after you mats ####ed up

Took a deep breath, got it sorted and put it down to experience. The guy's usually pretty good - i know if it passes then it is 100% (at least, until i drive it out of his garage!) - i think he must of had an off day!

not too bad then mines in for test sson first one in 10 years lol hopefully it passes

its in the lockup at the mo m8 getting all bits done and some extra stuff aswell and then bk in for retest saturday

Sorry anouther typo
There was a big thead on your mates wheel bearing failing. as you do a lot of wading you should be on top of the jod.
Not checking your basics and not rectifying any defects your aware of before you take it for its MOT deserves a fail
Your more likely to get an advise if you havent got a list of basic fails
