to make a longer term more honest car of it although I felt a red form was
likely the failure points weren't anticipated.
The weepy rear ram boot arose a comment but no hemorrhaging LHM so it
was mentioned as an advise [like I hadn't been thinking about nothing but it]
and the iffy rear flange of the centre silenser where it meets the rear box had
split where it had been stressed heaving the cat front flange doing the manifold
gasket was another advise under the joint paste - to be fair it is/was totally
leak free but sounds rorty!
No, the bleeding obvious which I missed as I've rarely driven the car:
O/S brake light innop
N/S main beam innop
N/S/F tyre elow limit [just down the centre in a overinflated styley]
Normally, they're cool about bulbs as one could pop turning out of the
centre and they know I'll fix them but the tyre was a no-no.
I know the tyre could potentially fail depending on MrMOTman's mood
but didn't realise a nasty gotcha waiting for me. Yep a locking Cit wheel bolt
an x3 alloys [not x4?] without the removal key!
I conceded defeat and left the car with the MOT garage to remove the duff
bolts which I'm told they've done but I didn't get back this evening in time
on the way home - fingers crossed the damage to my wallet and alloy rim
aren't too bad!
Not a bad MOT all things considered - I have a decent brand tyre on a
correct alloy to alleviate any further wallet damage.

LOL
I'm not too bothered and thus isn't a rant
