Sorry I didn'nt mean you were old just the car

If your old I'm dead

No I'm still alive

Good luck

when my car failed its MOT badly, i read so many reports from people whos car had failed, then PASSED from proper legit mot centres, such as council run ones.

id go to Chris in Elland (fingers crossed) he will find nothing wrong with the drag link-to advise though, I have ZERO play in my steering, and my failure was "excessive play in drag link joints" or whatever, so if you have no play, then perhaps you will be ok. When you ring Chris, just tell him yoru from the club that Clive is a member of, if hes forgoton who I am , Im ANDREW BURROWS mate, he knows Andy very well and hes done two of my cars recently!

time to get the kurust and hammerite no rust paint...

That leaves a lot to the imagination

Well I really can't THANK Larson, Clivvy and Clivvy's mate enough for what they have done.

Between them they have really saved the day and Jim's Terrano lives to "lane" another year. The welding is done completed and looks a real good job. She goes back for retest in the morning so by this time tomorrow the ticket will be in my hands.

Got a bit of a water leak, think it's from the seam in the engine bay. Once it's dried out I'll spend some more time with the sealant gun.

What a crackin club this is!!!!! where else would complete strangers dive in to help you out.

Thanks
Jim

PS wish me luck again, the Reno goes in on Wednesday for it's MOT
