Well its that time of the year again.

Booked the car in for her MOT on monday.

Today she had two new tyres fitted on the back and i fitted the fuel filter, another messy job out the way. washed her again so she is all clean.

Well i hope she passes i know there are lots a car can fail on but i cant see her failin (or could i be wrong......)

Did notice something while i was rollin around under the motor. at the bottom of the diff was a load of dirty greasey oilit was really thick and horrible didnt smell fresh or even look fresh. i have cleaned it up and am going to keep an eye on it over a couple of weeks to see if its leaking slightly, lots or the majority is road dirt stuck to a small build up of oil. i dont beleive its leaking lots as their are never any puddles under the car.

Fingers crossed   , you can never tell with an M.O.T. think the car's perfect and then they'll go and fail it on some silly little thing.

well i have checked the obvisous, the only Advisorys i got last year:

1. Drivers seat belt sometimes difficult to release under load.

2. N/S front brake juddering slightly

3. N/S rear seat belt not checked as child seat fitted.

MOT done at 98406 mile she is currently at 106000.

Was informed on last service that she had plenty of wear left on the brake discs and pads. Cos i asked them to change them and the bloke said to me that they were fine and it was a waste of money to change them.......which i was gob smacked at cos it was VX doing the service and MOT. (Ok i know WTF.....was i thinkin putting my car in a VX garage? i didnt have the time, space or facilites at the time to do it my self)
