Well, i suppose it was to be expected
So my list to make anyone else feel better:
1. n/s front sidelight incorrect colour (bright white led bulbs clearly not mot'able)
2. o/s sidelight incorrect colour
3. o/s rear shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (ohh thats probably why it knocks !:bang: )
4. center exhaust has a leak (small hole.)
5. o/s rear wheel rim is badly distorted (its not THAT bad!)
6. n/s rear wheel rim is badly distorted (same again)
now the killers:
7. offside rear subframe mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded.
8. nearside (as above)
So i have 10 days to find, and fit, sills (7 & 8), 2 wheel rims (5+6), weld exhaust (4), find and fit a shocker (or a pair - 3), change bulbs back (1 + 2)
He also said i should bleed the brakes but it passed the efficiency test, and hell even the emissions test. (i guess its good that the age just clears it from having to have a catalytic converter! woo!)
On the plus side there is no advisorys
And i did drive it back along a couple of dual carriageways and it definately still has the up and go in it!
Will let you know if i complete this in 10 working days! (what are the chances of that?!)
