Around 432.000kms🤩

That's miles my dear😘👍

Is that km?

Upwards and onwards☝️😎

Generally that means bad comms. What version of Windows are you using? Are you sure that the driver being used is the correct one and not one chosen by Windows? If you are using a USB to serial adaptor, does it support the full RS232 controls...

Well, to go to the original topic...I previously had a p38 with poly's installed by the PO. Driving at 60mph it felt like something was trying to rip the front axle from underneath the car ie death wobble, pretty unnerving on a motorway...once I...

Appreciated

There's a guy in (Sheffield) called Sherwin who is straight but I think he's probably retired. I'll see what I can find out

Those folks are rare indeed

Exactly Tony and his son used to specialise in working and making road worthy cars from the 60 and 70's, so have a good knowledge and tolerance of the older vehicle.

Same over here, with old cars you NEED, I cannot emphasize that enough, a testing station that is used to old and classic cars. And that testing needs to be pragmatic about things, there some specialzed of sorts in classics that could as well...

The secondary rollers are just moveable units put first under the rear, then moved for the fronts. I think from memory there are 8 rollers of about 50mm diameter mounted in a S/S frame. They are quite heavy to move as I have done the moving a...

Looks a bit like the French one I use except they have a pit instead of a lift.

My guy also doesn't do repairs, just MOT's. The bay has those jiggle plates for the front wheels, whcih are brilliant for finding loose joints. Easy to see from the pit (no 4-post lift required). Also he uses a Tapley meter to do the P38...

all well and good, but a lot is down to opinion (and subsequently experience) of the tester.. one mans advisory is another mans fail. tolerances in older cars arent the same as modern cars. if you've only ever seen modern, you'll fail an old car...

I use a company that only do MOTs, their workshop is spotless, has an automated testing lane so every single time the test is the same rather than having an ape swinging on a pry bar etc. The tester just says "Pass or Fail, makes no difference...

Ask them if they would do a "MOT Pre-Check". For the std MOT fee, my local guy goes through the MOT process without logging onto the computer system. Then if he's happy it's effectively a pass, I have a cuppa for 45mins while he does the...

Crikey

You like your excel don't you🤔😜

Have you checked the sunroof drains? There are 4. It would be helpful to see a pic of the gap you mention

you can download the current list of MOT stations then import into excel, filter by town and class (4)

If he keeps his MOT license, Can't you just Paypal him the money and he can post you the sticker??? 🤔

Good luck with that, I remember the UK MOT garages always finding a fault and being disappointed when I took the vehicle away to DIY the repair. Here they test stations are independent and not part of a garage.

Rear airbags replaced last night. First time I've ever changed them without one being split; didn't think about what a ball-ache it is to refit the rear arch liner after removing it to release the pressure from the valve block. The good news...

Got me MOT due in September but found out yesterday the place I have always used for many years now got burnt to he ground a couple of months back.. As Tony the owner is in his 80's and his son is now 60 it doesn't look like they will be...

This was frankly an incredible read. Thank you for making my flight go by in a heartbeat.

The cakes the most important bit :vb-biggrin:

Got coffee and cake?

Are they lovely? (In Paul Daniels voice) "My lovely assistant, Miss Debbie McGeeeeee"

Checked my NS mirror. Bit odd. The glass had just detached itself. Plastic strap and even the plastic mount that typically explodes as soon as you look at it fine. Reassembled and it is fine. Bit of a result!
