I expect it will fail. Let's see how much it asks me to spend on it...

Why expect the worst? The MoT history suggests it should go through fairly easily.

Good thing I had my compass with me to find my way back. As it had a Vicar as a previous owner,perhaps being religiously serviced,if not physically, has helped? Good luck with the MOT,perhaps we could say a little prayer or burn some joss sticks. for the non believers. BTW, Most reliable car I ever had was prev. owned by a vicar,The Rev.Cherry,Red,Pug.305D Est.. Perhaps a good omen???

Regards to all.

I'm looking forward to the MoT result, the car was conspicuous by its abscence last time i went to Ely recently. Curious to know the outcome!

Filthy ! I like the car though.

Big turbo or V8 ?

There ain't no replacement for displacement as they say stateside - big V8!

I really like the 1UZ toyota/lexus v8.

That said, I've spoken to Martin and he has enlightened me as to how the B230 can be spiced right up with a big 'ole snail.

Let's get it OTR for the next 12 months and then see what pocket money, love and respect for the vehicle remains.

Cheers.

Looking at the pictures the clean up must have been a challenge to state the obvious. Solid looking car and up close the practicality of Moth is amazing it's huge. I'm no car detailer but a little OCD and my advice although you have given it a good first pass on cleaning / hoovering, is if you can get your hands on a steam cleaner give the interior a blast. It kills any germs that you may have missed but also makes carpets / upholstery smell fresh again. I do the windows steering wheel gear stick roof liner the lot. Hope it gets through the MOT for you.

Simplest and cheapest 30bhp you'll get is with an HPT wastegate actuator, straight swap so i'm led to believe by the various posts on here, something like a 22% improvement in power and a bit more torque too.

You did say it was in for MoT today didn't you or did i dream that?

2.3 HPT are 165bhp standard, the 940 LPT is 135bhp standard, trying to get a HPT wastegate actuator is like trying to trying to get a pay rise from my boss, ive been looking for a year with no joy
