MOT time for the Patrol

Jet washed it off today in the workshop on the lift, all enclosed in plastic sheet, it was like working in a fog, but they would not have accepted it with the amount of hard dried mud on it, all looks good just need to check the trailer electrics and fit a new rear number plate, general look round lights and wiper blades and that is about it it, booked in for Thursday 3.15.

Not exactly on the visor but certain financial benefits have been awarded in the past 🤪

I am an ex MOT guy so do not need to do anymore than present it, I am only human and can miss something, if I have then I want to know about it, my life may depend on it, Rick

Good luck Rick. Mine is currently off road as the MOT expired at the end of last month and I haven’t had time to look her over. Hopefully can get under her today with an MOT next week.
