Relief, passed MOT, but....

My T2 passed MOT without any advisory!

A guy at the garage told me he's impressed how solid its chassis are even though there are rusts here and there. He also asked me about the wings how I did it (where I repaired those holes - so called a botched filling job!

) .

A funny thing is that I couldn't have enough time to look into my ABS issue which causes ABS light on from time to time with some little tickle sound and I was so worried if it would fail MOT. But (half unexpectedly) my T2 went through any issue without ABS light on - then I paid to the garage, drove out to the street where suddenly ABS light turned on as if it was waiting for me to drive

It's becoming normality for me to see this light on, but I know that I have to sort this out. Still a bit of struggling to find out a good garage who can do this without beating bush.

Probably I may not drive when it's snowing in London as I just remembered I have another issue hidden (relay making a noise) and haven't sorted out yet. A part of New Year's resolution

Great news. My ABS light has been on for the last couple of MOTs, the brakes work fine and no fault codes show.

Great news, that truck knew to behave it’s self

When the weather warms up again you’ll have to get the faults sorted.

Well done....

MOT just before Christmas... Horrible... I think I would be looking to fix those two problems early next year, and then get a new MOT, so I was not having the hassle of an MOT, and potentially having to try to find a way to fix things at this time of cold and wet, oh and expensive, time of year, just in case anything might go wrong in the future...

Funny that last comment, I’ve just posted about this exact subject in a new thread.
