Some of you may remember my crisis post where I moaned a bit about the coop and how I wanted to get rid...

Funnily enough its taken an MOT failure to make me feel a bit better about it.

The reason being. It failed on the handbrake. So in 3 years of ownership I've had 2 easy passes and then this. What do I have to moan about really?

Im hoping its just a case of adjusting or replacing the cable and not having to change the rear brakes.

Anyway.. its all looking a bit better smile

new inertia switch fitted thursday, now running really well - if it lasts until 12th june when i'm down at fleas i expect it to be c340bhp - its now got the uprated rear bushes from the group buy, dedra front ARB, Nigel's lower brace, the standard Plus strutbrace and a Whitleline rear uprated ARB and she goes round corners very flat too - overall, what with the beautiful noise she makes i'm back in love with her love

thanks for asking, sorry for long response laugh
