The car passed it's MOT today with NO advisories! To say I'm over the moon is an understatement laugh

I think I should treat it with something lovely and new. Maybe an LE kit?

I love this car!

Give it another 12 month gj88 tongue
Mine passed 2 years ago with no advisories yipee

12 months later it failed on....

handbrake efficiency,
perished handbrake cables,
worn rear disks,
rear brake proportioning valve being sticky,
a worn shock absorber on the drivers side and
a detached rubber exhaust mount!

Good luck next year tongue tongue tongue (I'm evil)

Oh Lordy, my MOT is due in September shocked

Aux belts done a couple of months ago and the oil cooler and pipes are a year old. Cam belt will be done in the next 6 months I think.

Next up....dent removal and a Patch detail. Maybe a flea map. Mmmmm.

once that's done Gary you won't recognise the car - it becomes a much more rewarding experience in my opinion... cool

Thats what I'm hoping for. She's been looking a little tired recently. I've been far too busy to keep her looking tip top although I've got a bit of free time now so she'll be back to her best in no time hopefully cloud9

If it turns out anywhere near a nice as yours Proccy, I'll be a happy man!

Ahhh, I keep remembering other things that need doing to. I must get the wheels refurbed asap. I suppose that would lift the appearance no end.

The LE kit makes a huge difference to the car too, cant get over how much better mine looks now whilst still keeping it original smile

It's very very tempting but I'm not sure. It seems like a lot of standard 20vt's are being modified so i'll feel a little hint of guilt when I visit the auto DS site. Maybe if I had an original LE kit, I'd feel like I'm doing the car justice?

Hint hint patch. Sell up!
