Mrs 3 Ltr MOT today
Yep up for the test today, a bit overdue but took advantage of the 6 month deferment, gave me time to sand blast it all and spray underseal every where, replaced both bottom ball joints as boots were split together with the CVJ boots, across axle brake lines and NS rear seat belt mount needed a small plate, also sorted the sticking speedo, clean bill of health for another year, Rick

Well done Rick!
Just a word of caution. Be careful with the 6 months MOT extension as not every insurance company allows you to use it and invalidates your insurance! (Not an issue for you Rick, more for others reading this) |

Sorry did not take any pics, what with the sand and then the black stuff, was just not the place for a camera, suffice to say took 12 20Kg bags sand and 9 x 1ltr cans of spray underseal, re the insurance aspect they will find any excuse to invalidate a claim, and yes happy Mrs is a happy life and **** the world, it has gone beyond mad, Rick

Do you use kiln dried sand through an air sand blasting gun Rick? Works well, have you tried it through a jet wash attachment? Good media & cheap but worth mentioning the danger of silicosis attached to using it dry for those that may want to try.
