Guess what I did today?

Due on the 28th. I think, anyway had a spare slot this afternoon so it was M.O.T. time ...........................

Emissions excellent, again despite all the new cold air it gets !!

Brake test results spot on, apart from O/S PARKING brake slightly down. Otherwise I'm happy with my new brakes.

O/S always slightly higher reading than N/S due to different grade of grit on the rollers, which in effect shows that the O/S PARKING brake needs the shoes adjusting up a little to even out the effort. All in all not bad for a 14 year old car with high mileage. 27,712

Needs a wash, hope to get to try my new snow foam lance this coming weekend.

Hey Big Ears, you allowed to MOT your own car?
Thought it would be a bit like Doctors not being allowed to treat their own family members.

Get asked that same question quite a lot Mike, and I usually give the same answer too, " Why the f*** not?"

And I'll tell you something else young Albert, them tyres haven't got as much tread on them as they had last year. Think I need a brick under the loud pedal mate. By this time next year they'll be shagged.

We have a good selection mate, used two sizes today doing mine. I cannot understand their problem to be honest.

Another point here is that our M.O.T. ramp is sunk into the garage floor which makes it level with the floor. If I place the lids on the rollers it's just like driving across a flat area.
