Just discovered that the Elite runs out next week! Aren't they supposed to send a reminder?

[Crazycarzowner]

Nope, only for Tax

However some garages will ask you to sign up for them to remind you near the time & will send you a txt.

You can set up a text alert but it costs something silly.

I assume you have a mobile phone    mine is set up to alert me of my/our cars' MOT a month before hand .... it told me yesterday that my Smart's is due at the end of the month.

That's what I was thinking of, my local VX garage always reminded me, but they have been taken over, and no doubt threw out anything useful.

Why not just set it up in your Windows (if you are using it) Mail calendar, tis all I do as what with the cars and bikes (and age) I can never remember when they are due. I just set mine a week or so before (or more if a close call last MOT!!). Then it pops up to remind you, luverly

Put a circle around the MOT date for next year .......

I got a reminder from Mercedes the other day to say that my car's MOT is due. Apart from the fact I use the local MOT station that I've used for upmteen years, MB haven't updated their records as to when it's due.

I actually got a reminder from a local VX dealer few weeks back, All I did was have the A/C topped up there, Must have kept details on record. MOT due next week.

 ;DI use a very radical method. I mark a calendar with the vehicles mot a month before they are due. I know that is a very odd way to do things in this age of technology but works very well as its so tried and tested

I'm annoyed because I always used to get a reminder from the VX dealer, who used to do it for £29! Now taken over, no reminder and £50!!!

If you fancy a trip to Swindon, you can get an MOT for £25

Spooky, I've just booked in to Now VX Hillmead for £35!, a bit better than Marlborough. They will also try to find where the AC gas is escaping, as after checking the compressor, HP & LP valves, all changed last year, there is no sign of a leak there or anywhere else. Hopefully they may have something to detect leaks. I'm somewhat miffed that they list the car as Vauxhall OLD MODEL, in capitals on the booking e-mail.

Is that a reference to your car or you Chris?
