OMG!

... I have just realised that the Terrano MOT is due first week in June

Is there anything that I can check/prep before it goes in? The tester is tame so any very minor stuff I will be able to do.

As the Terrano was a sort of hand-me-down, it all depends on how much the MOT costs to whether I keep or break it.

Have a poke underneath, RUST RUST AND MORE RUST.

Make it clean, usually puts the tester at ease if its clean too :naughty

It's .easy to forget the simple things, all bulbs, including the number plate lights and side lights, get someone to stand behind the car while you press the brake pedal to check the brake lights. Make sure there is water in the windscreen washers and the horn is working. (Mine failed it's Spanish MOT last year because the washer bottle was empty, no such thing as advisories over here!)

Phew!

Well, this is the result...

 

[Paff]

And this...



The rust on the wings were mentioned, but also mentioned in the same sentence was 'solid'!!! All the usual places were solid...

 

[jims-terrano]

[Lazy-Ferret]

Wow, Rick

I am going to treat her to a service as she passed, fit the A bar and do a few more bits and pieces, may even get some fibre glass wings, unless anyone has got a pair in decent nick?

Mind you I can smell that sweet smell of antifreeze sometimes, so maybe the waterpump is next, the level does not seem to go down though :nenau
