MOT day today, and I am a happy chappy. Not that she passed, I didn't expect her to. But the fail list is small and tbh easy to rectify. A ticket is not far away and that is a massive leap forward and lets me get on with the hair and makeup so to speak. Fails. One wiper blade ;D One washer jet blocked ;D Front brakes binding Speedometer not working Steering balljoints worn loose As it was booked for MOT I had a good run around this morning, the first proper drive I've had, and she drives really well. With the above jobs done she will drive 100% Onwards and upwards !!!!! Start the search for bottom ball joints !!!!!!

Great news John! On the face of it they look quite simple to resolve. The washer jets are a little bit of an @rse to get to as they are tucked up at the back of the dashboard but hopefully a small pin should do the trick.
