Hopefully all sorted today, front pads shot but will not change them till after the test, rear brakes getting very rusty after the water in Wales, so spray grease all round, good news is it has never been cleaner under than now, doing our "lane" several times a day leads to very heavy build up of underside crud, MOT man will be pleased, will ring first thing am for a booking, Rick

All good for another year, advisories, cracked number plate (I wonder why?) slight blow from rear exhaust, (where I welded up rust before the Wales meet) slight play in steering (not surprised after Wales) sorry no pics just far too much on, borrowed wife's motor today, knew she had a very slow leak to NSR but on getting to the job NSF looked rather low, on checking a while later it was lower, and my air pump is in my motor, so nothing for it but to take it to my mates tyre place around the corner and leave it there for the rest of the day, packed up at 7pm today, Rick
