And,

 

She passed with flying colours. Just one advisory for N/S CV boot deteriorated, but able to hold grease and prevent dirt entering the joint.

 

Seems all the money ive spent on her this year has been worth it

Thats not too bad, and a nice little messy job for someone!!

Nice one, I like these stories, make me hopeful for January!

I had the same terrifying experience last month too......but also passed with flying colours!

Yeh shes not a bad old girl. For saying shes 12 years old with 157k on the clock.

 

Just shows, they will just keep going if looked after.

I never understand why everybody dreads MOTs. I like taking my car for an MOT as man MOT man is really nice and it's the only time I get to have a proper look underneath the car without crawling round on my back

Granted, its the potential expense I fear really, its all for a good cause though!

Mine was about to pass with flying colours too until the front spring snapped when they lowered it down off the lift :-(

 

For future reference to people, genuine vRS springs are nearly £100 each from TPS in Leeds.
