MoT test.

I'd forgotten about it & thought it was in December, the actual expiry date is Saturday 26th.
So I booked it in with the 'WYMAS' garage this afternoon.

If it passes, this will be the third in a row in my hands.

Well I put mine in last week so I could get a list of jobs to do.  I knew it had flaking rust on a body mount, and a split in the floor on the transmission tunnel, I wasn't too happy with the brakes.

It failed on emmissions !

NEw set of plugs (one was miss firing) and hey presto, I now have an MOT to 5th December 2006 !

What other car would pass with that lot !  :shock:

Good luck there Matey, but I dont reckon you will need it !

Is it too late to cross my fingers for you?

Will the dreaded deed have been done by now?

Not at the time you typed, but by now it is.

Dropped it off at the WYMAS fleet garage (West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service)
 at 13:30 on my way in.
The garage is in our grounds, so it was a pleasent walk up in the sunshine watching the Steeplejacks on the Boilerhouse chimney.
 
Nipped out for a few minutes about 16:45, as they'd said they either ring before 16:00, or come after half-past.

Let me tell you, it was a good thing I'd been to the bank this morning & asked the cashier for some money.........................

It was an expensive day for a parsimonious Yorkshireman!!

Oh dear :(  Was it anything serious, or a collection of bits and pieces?

I walked in & there on the desk was a big PC printout of about 3 pages :shock:  :shock:

All I can say when I was given my bill was it's a damn lot of of money

Bloomin' expensive those pieces of paper with a VIN, an expiry date & a signature.

£35.00 it cost me :shock:  :shock:

Much to my surprise (& great relief) It Passed \:D/  \:D/  \:D/


All the preparation I did was;
Pressure wash the wheel-arches & as much of the underside as possible (3 tokens) before the garage chucked me out :lol:
Check, & top up, the oil.
Called at the main dealer in Wakefield (Guy Salmon) & bought a new air-filter to help with the smoke/emissions test.

I'm glad I did going by the state of this (less than) 9,000 mile old  example :shock:  :shock:

Shows how grotty the roads are in this area :?


Now all I need is to sort out the RFL before the 31st & I can actively hunt out a CSW  :D \:D/

The PC printout wasn't mine thankfully, but I did see it was for £500+ on a 2002 Citroen :lol:  :lol:
