Great news, always a bit of a worry waiting for the news isn’t it.

Yes good news, sorted for another year, Rick

Yes it is. Had a couple of advisory’s to look at and some were not even advisory’s. Had a kiddie seat in the back, not strapped in just chucked on the back seat, apparently that stops them checking the seat belt fully, they could have just pushed it out of the way. Towbar electric socket came off in Portugal so I taped it up and tied it out the way, another advisory

. The one that concerns me is the corrosion, I will be making a call tomorrow to find out exactly what it is. I have attached a pic of the advisory’s so you can see how picky they are these days

Yep you can't beat the euphoria of a MoT Pass.

Our WJ is due in January, wondering if it's worth some sort of fuel treatment beforehand. With the new visible smoke rules it's always a slight worry.

In the dark if I floor the throttle I can see the exhaust gases in my rear view mirror as I accelerate away. Not usually visible in the daytime though. After the initial exhaust cloud it will not repeat the visible exhaust cloud for the remainder of any journey. Static revs shows no visible smoke so should be ok. No DPF on this model just a normal CAT it's a Crit Air 4 sticker for France.
