Well done Chris! real nice when you get a clean bill of health.
I got a verbal advisory on a slightly discoloured front number plate had the same on both my cars and they do need new ones BUT! if thats all he can find then I'm a happy chap.
I now have to get the 940 Limo sorted in about four weeks but not looking forward to it as it's dark and cold in the evenings.Hopefully it wont need much.Then I have to see if it will actually fit in the mot bay as the one I use you have to drive down the side of the garage with a wall on the other side and turn into the mot bat.Might have to breath in Lol.

Regards Brian.

I left mine at the garage while I was on holiday last week, came back to an MOT and a bill for a pair of wiper blades at £7.20 each.

They even remarked that it was pretty good for a 15 year old car on 203k miles.

Cracking results all round then

I hadn't seen one of these threads in a while so I thought it'd be a good morale boost in amongst all the problems lol.

Have fun getting the limo on a set of ramps

I am usually surprised, for the most part, when one of these cars fails (bar known issues popping up at MOT time).

I'd be more worried if this was about 3-5 year old cars. That would be worrying!!

Well, the 940 TD passed today, only one advisory on a weak handbrake.

That'll do for me, only paid a few hundred quid for it a month ago

Altenator's definately on it's way out though :S

Gonna change that, give it some new belts and a GOOD service (It did used to be a taxi!) and crank up the boost and fuel!!

960's going in soon, won't be quite as straight forward though me thinks!

Mine went through a few days ago, no preparation; straight through without any advisories. It's at 220K miles.
