Finally got the coupe back today which passed its MOT but had initially failed on a blown headlight bulb cool No advisories either and no concerns re rot. However the car's not running as well as it should so taking it in for diagnostics in a few weeks time along with lanoguard treatment. Always a relief to get another year's ticket though party

Btw - I may need a rocker breather hose so does anyone know if a 16vt will be the same for the 16v confused

Mine passed yesterday as well, no advisories.

I made mine out of some silicone hose each end and a short metal pipe in between. I don't have any photos but can take one if you need to see. The hoses are 45 degree angles trimmed down.

Hi Paul - thanks. Been in touch with Phil in Guisborough who also has a 16v broomy so perhaps the three of us could have a NEast meet sometime in the months ahead smile

Hi Hammie - good news on the MOT front mate thumb That would be great if you could send over a pic but no rush.

Thanks Hammie smile

I see you have your IACV disconnected so is that permanent as it snags the pipework confused

Mine passed its MOT this morning. Only 318 miles added since the last one. The year before it was just 113 miles.

Not quite clean as they found both beam patterns weak, not a problem,1/2 an hours work will sort it out.


16VT and X1/9 1500

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

Pleased to add mine to the passed list!

New CV boots on - other than that it was a clean MOT pass!

So just in time for the sun! She needs a few miles under her wheels now!

Hope all are getting ready for some road time in theirs!

Regards

MM
