Well folks, my 11plate went in for the MOT on Saturday,
And i'm pleased to say she toddled through it with out anything other than a broken rear spring, and only one advisory ' a slight crack/chip' in the passenger side of the windscreen..
(If i'd had more time i'd have got hold of some lowering springs and dropped her a little bit more...but as i needed the car, that will have to wait a while)
To be totally honest, i'm well happy, (this has got to be the first car I've owned that didn't need hundreds of pounds spent on her at every MOT), so to celebrate she had a full service as well, just to keep her happy you understand.....oh and a quick play with the wash and wax is planned for today...(don't you love a day off work)
The last MOT for my old Vectra was shocking, if memory serves the vectra needed front to rear brake pipes replacing, warped front disc's and obviously new pads, both front tyres worn on the inside edge, and centre flexi pipe in poor condition.. and just to add insult to injury a slight oil leak.
so here's to another year of 'trouble free' Insignia ownership..
p.s. i'd only done just over 7000 miles since the last MOT,
The emissions test came back spot on...
Although i'm finding that they no longer give you a detailed readout of the test,
So I'm guessing that a test limit of 1.50 l/m and a reading of 'Absorption Coefficient'..0.07 l/m with a 'Zero Drift' of 0.01 l/m to give a corrected Absorption Coefficient' reading of 0.06 l/m .... is classed as good...
It might as well be written in arabic ...ha ha ha.
