Washed and ready for MOT!

[ggmiller]

18 last week so she’s had a celebratory wash, also now ready for MOT on Wednesday!

Been ok last few years apart from handbrake ratchet being worn….. wish us luck!

Looks great! Can I just check if you have the same issue with your handbrake as mine? Mine goes up about 40-50% of the way and I’ve taken it to RBM who’ve said that some of the teeth in the ratchet looks like it’s broken off?

Just wondering whether it’s a straight MOT fail or if there’s some leeway here.

Yep - same problem!

Not got round to doing anything with it as I only get an advisory and the cost for the repair keeps creeping up due to scarcity of parts - should have done it ages ago when it would have been £100!

Would you be able to report back once you’ve had the MOT done? Fingers crossed for you mate because as you said the repair costs can be a little high to replace the handbrake and I’m also hoping it’ll be an advisory for my MOT in November!

Your Z4 is looking very smart - good luck with the MOT.

If there's still teeth at the top of travel then you'll get away with it most of the time. They wear away over time when people don't press the button. You can re-profile them with a Dremel from above if you like a challenge.

Use your wifes mirror in the morning. Apparently it can knock 20 years off. :wink:

Hope she sails through OP.

Yes, a pass is always a relief.
