Went in for this year's MoT test. I am concerned she might fail on a binding front right brake. Had it off and cleaned up, but still happened intermittently, so that'll be fun.
Maybe a few bushes too, heard one or too clunk's driving into work which I don't recall hearing before, but maybe I am just being paranoid.

Possible front left tyre, noticed that front left is wearing on the outside edge, but she tracks straight as an arrow, which is a concern. That and even when running the rears at 36PSI the inside band of the tyre is wearing quickly.

Bloody P38s, never simple. But basically I expect a failure today. So if I pass I'll be massively surprised.
 
This has been annoying me for at least 2 years and my repair is crap so off with the old

We all get like that. If it tracks fine probably be okay. Worst case is they give you a comprehensive list of what needs doing.

I had new front callipers for my test, changed the bad one but couldn’t get the F/R banjo off so left old one on. When I get a flexi for it you can have the old calliper, the flexi doesn’t want to come off but it works fine no leaks.
It’s basement gull orange though o_O

Your probably the same as me too fast into corners,I get the same wear on the fronts
 
This isn't mine but similar is happening. I was thinking there might be a model train/car paint that would be the same, and just paint it, nothing. The part is fine apart from flaking.

She passed, but with a sizeable list. Tyres getting close (nail in rear left, explains why I lose air), oil leaks, AC BELT MISSING (weirdly his biggest concern), exhaust got slight leak in the flexi, cat is mongoosed but passes emissions so he passed it. Heat shield rattling. Probably need to sand back and respray my springs too as they have signs of corrosion.
Got to replace some brake pipes, they've just started rusting. Booo! Not bad for 22 years old though. Just dreading bleeding a P38. Never had to do it, been trying to avoid it best I can.
I might have to take you up on that, orange but works is better than black that doesn't.

I was wondering if that could be the case. One of the junctions coming home is a tight right into a uphill section that I have to hit with speed or I'll never get through a gap in traffic. Probably why it is only really obvious on the front left... I'll slow down I swear.

I never do, their only tyres after all.:D Bleeding the brakes isn't hard as long as you stick to the procedure to the letter.I managed it with the Boss so as long as they listen to instructions :eek::eek:
 
Pressed the 'sport' button on the gearbox today going up hill, think i caught it by surprise!! Didn't have a clue which gear to use and i think cycled through all of them in turn. No gearbox faults recorded though

Would make more sense if I have a V8, but it is only a tratter.
The Boss is maybe OK, maybeish when doing technical jobs. I'll have to give it a try. What's the worst that could happen?
