Sometimes its always good to give the tester something easy to find, so he doesn't look too hard. Else he may have to fail it on air fresheners ::)

well done on MOT pass. Always nice to get the old wagons through without too much expense.
It cost me £200 on chassis weklding last week to get it through and some elbow grease and Tcut on headlight lenses  which failed as too dim' !!
At least another 12 months troublwe free motoring...I wish !! :-)

I wouldn't recommend commenting on AF's... TB can be a bit temperamental and Post Counts can be affected... Take it from someone who knows ::) ::)

Oh I am sorry.. :-) - I use this car once a week and just threw it in as the current MOT ran out. did a quick once over of lights, steering joints etc etc.. but didn't think to examine the wiper blades! - it cost me 12.50 (plus the MOT, and would have cost that either way so I am happy that they failed it on wiper blades and not anything more than £20!)
