Quite chuffed really

Took my estate in for MOT the other day & all it failed on were both lower steering arms needing replacement due to excessive movement & the fuel line leaking on one of the fitting nipples

 

Went to my local factors & managed to get a pair of lower steering arms off the shelf for £43 sooooooo they're being fitted on Monday

 

Not bad for a 39 year old Escort

 

 

 

 

 

My RS Turbo on the other hand!!

So not too bad then. Our 36 year old transit failed on wipers not working (fuse) and washers not working (he couldn't find the switch ) and no horn (the wire fell off) so when I fixed the fuse and the wire, showed the 22 year old kid where the washer switch was (on the dash, not the floor switch) she passed.......

i love seeing their face's when you take a old car in for mot they expect it to fail on eveything because it is old,but they are usal well maintained

Last year my first words to the same tester was 'don't waste your time looking for a fog light, reversing light or hazards...... He then picked up the emissions probe and was told he wouldn't need it
