My Zed passed her mot yesterday with flying colours and no advisories, on a negative note though my air con has stopped working (think i have a leak) and may have problem with my gearbox still i am happy she passed her mot:thumbsup:

My A/C is still in the car and all good if you need something. |
Well done Hamish, changed my clutch at 75.000, started getting a bit stiff to get into 1st.
Certainly made it feel better, dont forget to check for a seized, clutch arm, if you get it done. My a/c works but not as cold as it was, had it re-gassed 4 years ago, so cant complain. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: |
I'm going to explain the MOT process in Spain - Took my Astra yesterday
Get to the main MOT center , its a big warehouse with 5 lanes ( extra 2 for artics ). Go into the office and provide them with the car papers , pay 38 euros and your given a lane number. Wait for the lane number to appear on the massive LED screen outside. Go to the lane number and your greeted by a unhappy Spaniard. 1st- oil check and fluids. 2nd- lights , indicators ,full beam , light alignment. 3rd - Check the chassis number matches ( under the passengers plastic door thing ) 4th - Rear lights , indicators , brake lights , reverse light. 5th - Seatbelt check all round 6th - drive into a metal grid where they basically bounce the car up and down and side to side to check the front and rear suspensions okay 7th - rolling road to check brakes , handbrake 8th- emissions test - rev to 2000RPM 9th - Drive out - this takes less than 10 minutes! wait for the person to arrive back with the papers and a new ITV ( MOT ) sticker to place in the front window |
Mot
Took the Mrs for her yearly MOT, as I expected there were no problems.
I got one advisory for a little extra travel in the hand break. All sorted now. |

Took the zed for its mot today and it sailed through with only one advisory on a worn inner front tyre, happy days! All the recent expense and effort was worthwhile
|
Well done.
Put two Hankooks on the front, had a 4 way alignment check, after getting it back to the o/e settings, the guy said it would wear the front two inner shoulders. Due to the factory set up!!! So maybe a front to rear swap at some time to lessen the wear. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :hooray::hooray::hooray: |
Thats my one done and dusted.
I use Halfords Autocentres, I know a lot dont rate them, but I never have any probs. Only thing you have to watch is that they emailed me a reminder, and offered a special price of £35. But I know if you go online you get it for 1/2 price, so booked in for £27.42. On the day, they reckoned the o/s/r number plate bulb was out, issued a fail and fitted a new one and issued a pass. £10 extra so they got £37.42 in the end, but I was happy at that. :smile1::smile1::smile1: |
