thanks lads,much appreciated.

its booked in for a test a week on friday,im very optimistic,it hasnt had a test for 3 years!
not exactly important and a bit premature..........had these stickers made up a while about by a graphics firm,was running out of things to do on the car yesterday,so put them on,most amazons had them on the doors when they left the factory,supposed to be sort of reflectors so anyone passing can see the door is open!

if anyone whats a set,i gave the company permission to use this photo,and they sell them on ebay......and no its not me selling them!! ha!
cheers,pez.

took the estate for its m.o.t today.....failed....BUT....only on the front flexi brake hoses that go into the front calipers,although not leaking any fluid,the outsides of the hoses have some splits in them.
i dont think its too bad considering it hasnt had a test for three years,im very pleased in fact! its come a long way in a year!
got a pair of hoses on order from amazon cars,so i should have a test on the car in a week or so.

A common fail though on older beasts but not a problem by any means. I'm chuffed to nuts for you!
