MOT today....
« on: July 19, 2006, 16:45:41 »
Got the 110 in for it's annual prod and poke today. Not heard from the garage, so hopefully all is well.... can't find a nailbiting emoticon!

I usually get complaints from them that it's left oil all over their floor!! I noticed the front diff pinion seal is now weeping too.... so another spot on their floor!

Got them to do the poly bushes in the A frame while they are at it. Couldn't shift the bolts for love nor money!

Fingers crossed

got the Audi, Vitara and I suspect the Pug all due in the next month
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

PASSED  :shock:  :shock:

Just a couple of advisories (if that's a word!).

The steering arm ball joint has play in it. It was bought ready fitted to a new arm less than 3 months ago  :shock: The quality of some products these days is dreadful. I seem to go through UJ's like they are going out of fashion too. And I'm on my 3rd clutch master cylinder in as many years.... and I always by genuine or OE spec (Lemforder, Lucas, etc).

He had a lovely time with the A frame though  :twisted: Couldn't get the bolts out at all. And the bracket fixings were so corroded they weren't even hexagonal any more! Can you imagine how hot and bothered he got with a hammer and chisel yesterday???  :lol: Still, I know him well, and he's a diamond bloke who loves his Land Rovers.

He did suggest that I should use their lift and hot wash to clean the clay off the rear of the chassis. Then spray old engine oil to slow the corrosion down. Such a nice bloke. Although I suspect he just wanted to see me covered in mud and c**p this time!!
