Popped the new spark plugs in and sent my 2.2 down for its MOT.

Passed, no advisories! mechanic said it was spot on  :o

Was surprised cause i know the rear handbrake is not holding on the drivers side.

I will give it a treat tomorrow with some fresh oil  :)

Good result Tunnie :y

Another year safely negotiated -- well done  :y

Cover it in WD40 now, if its the original. Mine was a bugger to remove.

Thanks for the tip,will do it in the morning :y

Tunnie, thats not an excuse to leave that handbrake for a year - that needs cleaning up quickly, and this weekend is looking nicer than any others for next few months!

Marks DTM has a bloody good guide :y

You'd better off covering it in a penetrating oil! ie Easit. Plus gas etc etc WD40 is a water displacer .... hence the name! ::) :y :y :y

Well done  :y Have to take my old banger for its MOT in a am. Have done the main checks and just found that the off side rear tyre needs replacing :-[ :-[.

Will have to get a set before the test

If you leave that much longer, rather than it being a simple and cheap job, it will be a blank, and expensive.

Well done on another years  ticket Tunnie  :y :y :y
