Indeed, I drove my mum's 5dr 1.6 again yesterday; I reckon it's got more grunt than my 1.8, love it! Although that looks to be being sold too

Re: MOT on Tuesday
I LOVE GRUNT and hopefully will have a little more from tomorrow :slayer: so you found the 1.6 engine a nice unit then Rich I think so to and I am sure there's loads more that can be done to get the full potential out of this engine I will indeed be interesting to see what Oldschool can do with the engine he has at the moment :chin:

Mine got done lasst Wednesday and passed no probs, would of failed on emmisions though apparently if I hadnt had the EGR valve changed at the same time.. some one had been mentioning if an emmisions test was done on a JTD.. clearly is!

Well the Stilo's due it's second MOT at the end of this month, so my question is, what are the hot-spots to watch out for and check before forking out my hard earned?

Do the basic tests, have a walk round the car checking stupid things like lights, door opening properly, tyres, washers and wiper etc. You will be surprised at the number of people who drive around with lights out. (yes I know Stilo has a bulb check - but it doesn't check all bulbs). Horn is also an easy one to check.
Go for a drive before you take for MOT so it is up to temp and oil temp is high enough to do emissions check.
Other than that, there isn't much easily to do yourself.

Cheers Ste, had a feeling there wouldn't be much more to it.
Now if you wanna get dirty :devil: then you can jack up and check for track rod end ware wheel bearings ..even climb under and check for a blowing exhaust system ..check condition of all the rubber brake hoses legal tyres even if your rear axle bushes are leaking ..condition of seat belts and that they all work correctly Lights as Steve said you could even park up in the night to see if your beams are correctly aligned [best place to check that is against a wall ]see if your beams are ~~~~ or a car park where couples are courting :devil: loads of stuff you can check your self
So Phil, are you suggesting that I go dogging? Would be different to be on the other side of the windscreen :yuck:
