It is nice to know it's mechanically sound as a whole. Means I can focus on the other niggles like cracked bumper, leaky coolant and the odd rattle!

I actually find I am more nervous with the other cars then the ZS when it's MOT time as it never fails me.

MOT prep for the T16 began this week, it's been sorned since October.

First thing was to remove the dehumidifiers, they've done a good job, no signs of mould, or condensation.
Next up was to connect a freshly charged battery, it fired up at the first touch of the key, checked all the obvious stuff like tyres, lights, etc, all good, I need to take the angle grinder and wire brush to the front discs to smarten them up a bit.
I've been going over it with a clay bar to remove the moss, tree sap, and various other stuff that has appeared on the paint work over the winter.
Finally I added 10 litres of fresh fuel and a bottle of Forte petrol treatment, so I reckon next week it'll get booked in for the test, and ptsssh can commence for the summer :w00t:

Nice one!

I dropped mine off last night for its MOT. It was last done in July 2013 and only done 3k miles since! The drive there was interesting............I forgot how quick it was! :D Still waiting for the phone call.........:look:

Well I won't know until I get home as the SRS light is being intermittent during the test apparently, nothing else mentioned so a knife edge pass/fail scenario. If I get lucky then it'll be another year straight through! Hope it does pass as it means I can tax it tonight :D If not I can't retest it until next Weds :sad:
