MOT

clivvy · 30-11-2009, 21:34

hey guys!

MOT tomorrow (not due till 20th ) and hopefully get my Crankshaft Sensor problem fixed. I am not gonna kid myself, I fully expect a large bill, even though I am fairly confident there is nothing wrong with the car, I think its better to think negative than , at least then a large bill wont come as a surprise!

Looking back, since 2006 its passed with no advisories, and presumably no big expenpensive jobs, with only 2-3k miles between. Done about 4k miles since last mot, of which I have only done 1k tops of that due to Mav been at on the drive. I am hoping this counts for something, so at the very least I can afford any repairs for this ckp sensor, whcih I hoep in turn resolves the running issue..

fingers crossed, wish me luck!!

know what your going through !,
I went online last week to get my road tax , and it said cant find MOT !, I went upstairs to get it and found that it was up in Aug !, Shocker, I booked it in for the next day and it passed no problem ! ( not bad for a 15year old motor)

Thanks guys, well, its in! I had to scrape ice from the inside before I could drive it, but she gave me no trouble at all. Almost killed myself on the way there, narrow road, on coming wagon, white van parked at angel with wheels full lock INTO the road..oops...i JUST missed the oncoming truck!

Jim-yes, much snow was had, but thankfully didnt settle. This morning is cold, -1, but thankfully I had no trouble with the Mav, I just hope everything goes ok, and it comes back fixed because I really want to drive it (I checked, I havent driven it for 4 months apart from two trips out to test repairs I did)

The garage I go to is pretty trust worthy, I have a fairly good pass rate with them on my previous cars, but this is my first MOT with the Maverick!
