Woohoo

i was concerned about 4 things:

1. Bonnet - he didnt even bat an eyelid, strange cause last time i failed on that, although my adjuster was knackered then

2. Rear numberplate light - a grey area as i do have one and it shines, but it doesnt really show the number plate up that well

3. Cracked B-pillers - didnt even notice

4. Handbrake - as usual, do they ever work, but it seemed mine does

I put the original lights back on too and they look better than the covers , so will stick with them, until the lexus ones come and i see what they look like

I got the obligertory ribbing of having such a small car, etc.... but i kept quiet cause i didnt want him to fail me

good stuff gaz

Wooo

Nice one !

sorry to butt in but, my parents cinq passed today too! horah for 'unreliable' italian cars!

The place I go to doesn't bother checking emissions or handbrakes lucky since my lambda sensor is f***ed and my handbrake is crap

YEAH, good on you, its about time you had some good luck with that car

my to do list before my MOT test includes...
- 2 new tyres
- pair of brake pads and discs on the front
- reflectors on the back
- handbrake check
- MAP/Lambda sensor change (not sure which yet - just uses more fuel that it should in general; any ideas?)
and i'll also change the fuel filter and oil/filter.

Mine past first time on friday well chuffed, all that needed sorted was the direction of one of the headlamps
