MOT time.... in about 20 minutes....

[TobyJug]

Hello everyone...

I know it has been a while but I have been busy....

Well I had a little annoying garage visit with the Merc... and my daily little runaround is needing £££££ spending...
So it is that time..

The Land Cruiser is going in for an MOT in a few minutes..

After being on a SORN for just under a year it is that time she has to come out of retirement..
I just need someone I can trust.....

I went down to the garage last night and put the key in...
Half a turn and..............






















with a big growl she sprung straight into life...

NO BUTS, NO IFS just straight away up and running...

No weird noises no excessive smoke.... Just plain lovely..

God I love that truck....

Well fingers crossed that the MOT man likes her too...

another cup of black gold...
*Yes the real stuff, proper coffee not that instant cr@p*

and the it's time to dragg miss Elsie out of her hiding place ready for an MOT..

I am getting her to the garage in the Village, bit stricter etc.. but close and convenient.. So fingers, leggs, balls, everything crossed..

Seriously, good luck. I hope it flies through

I just had pretty much the biggest MOT disaster I could have imagined but more on that after you guys have got your news....

Jeez that does not sound good...

All good here, the truck failed but only on a light bulb, a brake caliper sticking slightly and the handbrake being just below efficiency..

So I am going to West Coast in the morning to get the brakes serviced and then a re-test...

All good...

Got it insured for 375 fully comp including off road etc... the full hit...

 

[frank rabbets]

Glad you only had a small problem.

[TobyJug]

yep all good...

The Merc is now drivable again and the Land Cruiser has Tax, MOT and insurance..

what a car..

Sadly she will be sold though very soon because I need space for another toy...

Sorry for the QA, what does MOT stand for?

MOT is like a RWC - except here you have to have an inspection every year for vehicles over 3 years old, IIRC it stands for Ministry Of Transport.
