Well as you guys all predicted, car flew through the MOT,
Although I still ended up coughing up £230 for a service and MOT. Arnold SHARK more like , have needed a new Ignition barrel so for arnold Shark to fit it would cost £330, but if I was to agree to get my car serviced it would be included in my Warranty which expires this Friday so it would only cost £180 ( which when i got the break down of costs was the actual price of the bloody Labour) believe it or not!!! plus the 50 for the MOT adds up to the tidy some of £230!!!!! Bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant... You just have to have faith in the 'beast'. They aren't as bad as they are made out to be.

Mine did apparently according to the previous owner. Tyres and exhaust.
It has crap tyres on it and had the wrong back box. Thank god it landed in the hands of an owner that cares for it with a team of fanatical mates on a cracking forum

Tyres still need replacing for something decent. X power exhaust sorted the fitting woes.

Weight off your mind when it passes though. All serviced too just needs you to take it out for a bit of a drive now mate.

Very true.

If your car is well looked after and maintained then it should be okay. Only those that just get in and turn the key and do nothing but put fuel in it will suffer. These days cars are better built and using better quality parts etc, the cars of old were always falling apart and rotting.
