Mot today

[fredoneleg]

Terrano has its mot at 12.45pm today. I've been over the terrano as best I could and any bulbs etc.... changed. Nothing is leaking. I couldn't see anything that needed welding.

Ordered a saab valve for the mg and logbook as I've lost the original during the move.

Some money or work to be done there then mate

Is he hoping to do the work or is he literally a test station?

 

[fredoneleg]

Its just an mot station.

I've not looked into quotes for the work, but I know it won't be cheap.

Deciding on whether to sell or not.

I could make a dedicated off road machine from that, if it is cheap, Rick

not the best photos.

How did that pass an MOT last year?

 

[fredoneleg]

I'd wondered that. Previous owner has always had his car mot'd and repaired at the same place.

I spoke to my usual mot guy in Bexhill and his words "thats horrific" lol

 

[panelbeater]

he is near you rick,could you do the work for him.

 

[solarman216]

More than horrific that is terminal, and should not have passed last year or probably even the year before that, Rick

 

[solarman216]

he is near you rick,could you do the work for him.

No he is in Kent, but also that tubular X member is the same repair that I did on a T2 a few years ago and it needs a donor chassis for the part, Rick

 

[fredoneleg]

I've listed it on ebay.

 

[fredoneleg]

Changed rear brake pads on the mg, a totally tropical 4 degrees lol

 

[panelbeater]

bad word that,terminal.
