yes
i was watching one of those police reality programs on TV and i had a sudden urge to go and check my MOT
OOPS it was out in the 1st of august :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
took scooby in for MOT on friday and it failed
tail light dull
rear o/s & n/s top shocker bushes worn
front to rear brake pipe corroded
advisory onfront o/s brake pipe corroded
cannot buy shock bushes localy without shocks :shock: :shock: :shock:
so a 56 mile round trip to K motors to buy 2 bushes at a total cost of £2:16
got some brake pipe and its been raining all day
so it looks like a sunday job :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Just got 2 tires for the Audi, thats in On Monday/Tuesday :S Bloody odd size so that cost about £29 more than I expected. Wondering what else she needs doing but like you, way too mank to go out.

EEK!!!, just had a look at mine and it runs out on the 17th of this month, thought it was next month - WHAT A PLONKER !!!!.

Maybe we should all take a look check :)

Yep, had same thing earlier this year, three weeks out of date when I remembered to check, mind you got it tested straight away and passed no problems(phew)

We managed to remember the MOT this year on SWMBO RRC,... even booked an appointment before run out date.
Failed on wheel bearing needing tightened and some suspension bushes.... which I fxed myself... :(biggrin):
Re-test pased no probs... 'cept an advisory cuz apperently my biceps aint strong enough to tighten wheel bearing the way they preferred!
Here's a suggestion.... use those countdown thingys I see in peoples signatures to remind you of MOT, TAX & Insurance every time you post!
That way... we could always keep an eye open and challeng if you forget!

OK had a look while putting the steel rims back on an oh dear :(
NS front bushes are shot. Did the rear ones last year and to say they are a pig is an understatement. Looks like rear NS brake pad has been welded to the disc at some point too. So thats bushes fitting etc : £60, Porsce 925 rear disc oterwise I'll need to at god knows what and possibly a caliper if that oen is seizing.
I'm gonna go and cry now. And its not being MOTed till monday.

Can't you get yours down at the depot at Newton Hill??
They still do staff cars I believe, as I saw someone bring keys back to reception whilst I was down the other week asking about a lane with the RoW chappie.
I used to use the WYMAS garage at Pinderfields, but now (due to the new Hospital build) they've moved onto Normanton Industrial Estate, near the Scania dealer.
I just dropped it off for the MoT test & walked back home.
