Last few bits

Cars been in for a bit of repair work today under warranty.

The heater fan control had stopped working, so no interior heater or fan.

Took it down to the guys at Piccadilly Wakefield for a look.

Apparently the heater resistor pack for the speed control had burnt out completely. Replaced under warranty. 4hour job.. 2hours and counting

 

[SJB1985]

At least your not paying mate :thumbup:

 

[RuSZ]

Only cause of potential fire damage... :banghead:

GP had its MOT this morning, passed without an advisory!

 

[SJB1985]

What was the advisory mate?

 

[RuSZ]

Without an advisory.. there wasn't anything.

The tester said he should have put down that "drivers field of view obstructed" because of the air freshener, but he just took it off pretesting.

Noticed as well, the text expired on the 6th July, so drove to Stanford without an MOT... oops

 

[SJB1985]

Sorry mate misread that post my mistake. Nice one mate

not really, one thing is the headlight adjuster wasnt working, so was hoping the pattern was correct and they didnt need to adjust it.

It is always a worry with a Italian car.

I knew someone with a brand new Mini and on its first ever MOT it failed because of rusting brake lines.

Good job I noticed your battery

 

[Reuuk]

I didn't think you were the type to drive without a valid MOT

No. He's the forgetful type that forgets to check the exact date on the MOT certificate...

I tend to find an annual entry in my phones calendar works well, along with monthly check of all the cars oils (yes I know it should be weekly, but with so many cars in the household one looses track).

I feel that lol... There was a rare point earlier this year when all 4 cars had an MOT at the same time - can't say that happens often at my house
