... gulp. 
MOT day...
- Thread starter Worcester_spoon
- Start date
Good luck.
If you're sweating spare a thought. Today is my last day to finish my comp jeep restoration before mot next Friday. 10 years on mud and rocks wore out everything below the chassis.
Virtually nothing has not been changed over the winter from disks, caliper brake pipes, whelel bearings,. Rebuilt axles, lockers, electrical system, race harness changes. Relocation of batteries and split charge system.
That's without all the ancill changes, fluids,, rad out, new starter, lights, etc.
1 in 10 chance of a first time pass :thumbsdown:

Just got the call. Sailed through 
Sadly my mechanic says he doesn't have the tool to pull the RTA bushes though, so they won't get done today

It certainly is!
Straight pass, no advisories
but only 1,680 miles since last year's MOT :? Must get out more

Zeds seem to enjoy MoTs.
True. The more you use them the better. 9k last year for mine
Sailed through the MOT
Perhaps I should update on the Jeep MOT. Well it failed, but I'm delighted considering that it's been off-roaded for over a decade and been on SORN and trailered for the last 5 years since its last MOT.
It needs pedal rubbers and a the rear fog light being full of mud. (my stupid mistake as I checked all the lights and forgot that one) and one floating axle bearing tightening which I've done this afternoon.
All that remains to do is a new lower ball joint that's on order.
Goes back middle of next week for a retest when the ball joint's fitted.
Well pleased ...
