I hate MOT time, Think my car will fail on everything :(

I am going to try and do the heather run on the 11th to finish my car off before the MOT on the 17th September :doh

Then I will probably be off of the road for a while due to lack of funds and other problems :(

bad news Brian, what a shame. hey, just a thought, if you are going to heather day, woudl it be worth allocating 20 mins or to let the gang look over your car, perhaps find faults/fixes?? just a thought!

Good idea but would possibly be quicker to look for bits that dont need fixing or replacing :lol

I need new:
tyres
windscreen
washer pump
possibly lots of other stuff !

I may need to get a load of welding done on the bodywork nar the sidesteps and rear arches depending on how fussy the inspector is.

not sure what else, but I am gonna just take it in on the 17th and see what happens :nenau

I always worry pre MOT time, Borrowing wheels would be ace for now. I do have my eyes set on a full set of new tyres in the near future but they will cost too much for me to sort instantly.

I will try my best to keep calm and wait for the scary sheet of doom :doh

Hi Steve,
Have a look in items for sale, I still have the set of steel wellers with tyres - I'm sure that they would get you through an MOT Where in south Yorkshire Are you I'm travelling down the A1 in the morning!

Thanks for the offer, but I cant afford to buy at the moment. I just need to get my Terrano through the MOT then hopefully a few weeks after I will be getting a new set of tyres :clap
