Passed the MOT again, but . . . . .
« on: January 22, 2010, 18:16:01 »
Well, after another year she's passed her MOT again  :dance:

But, my very friendly tester has informed me that she won't do so next year without the chassis being looked into. It would seem that the O/S/R of the chassis has been bubbling away and, without intervention, will perforate pretty soon  :shock:
So, I intend to wait for warmer weather and then get the grinder out on it to see how bad it really is . . . . . . .

Yes mate. Not very good for a 12 year old car. But a bit of welding will sort it out.
