no booking it in tomorrow, all drop links done and rear brakes adjusted, as said on another thread, Rick

Good luck but I reckon you've made your own luck on this one.

solarman216 · 18-09-2015, 22:09

Well it FAILED, but not too bothered, both head lamps high (odd cos they have not been touched since last year), two rear seat belt mechanism's not working properly, (never carry passengers only kit so probably full of crud) NSR door cannot be opened from outside, well it does but you have to use the old trick of pushing the door a little, all easy fixes, so will be back up there tomorrow for a nice new ticket, Rick

good luck Rick for tomorrow bud!

Hi Rick, since you haven't adjusted the headlights, could the front be higher, or the rear lower than it was last year?

Not too bad overall, for a new ticket, at least the things you sorted prior to the MOT were ok.
Terrible if they had failed any of those.
Good luck for the retest

All sorted for another year, I think that maybe last year I emptied it all out whereas this year I left most of the stuff in, which is good really as with all my clut plus towing my lights might have been a bit high, but having said that I never got flashed, but then when towing I adjust the lights with the gismo on the dash, Rick

jims-terrano · 19-09-2015, 11:27
