MOT day

I took my car in this morning for its mot. I had already changed the front discs and pads last weekend, and having had to beat them into submission I gave the back discs and pads to the garage to do. When I took it this morning I said to our friendly mechanic " I think the O/s trackrod end and lower wishbone were doubtful.
I got a call a short while ago to say that that's exactly what it had failed on. :woohoo: :woohoo: I quite happy with that really.
Now Im just waiting to hear what the bill is :sick:

:woohoo: The weather is great, the car will be back with a full MOT and a track rod end and lower wishbone shouldn't be too painful. It'll now give you another year of motoring fun - priceless :woohoo:

You shouldn't give them clues! :nonod:



:rofl:

:woohoo: doubly happy £180.
You have to give them clues otherwise they'll be looking for days.
Seriously though, Three Tuns Garage in Eastwood , Diamond Geezers cant recommend them enough.

I nearly forgot. , The emissions sheet said, Oil temperature by passed - Gauge warm.
It doesn't mean a lot to me, as I don't necessarily understand the finer points of engine management .
In fact , I know bugger all about them.

Good news! :yesnod:

The oil temperature only becomes relevant if the car fails the emmisions test.
The oil temp gives the only true indication that the engine is 'warmed up.' :thumbsup:
