Gulp!
It's that time. Not a bad response though. Sent everything off to VOSA on the 11/11/2011 and got a test date of the today (25/11/2011) for
15/12/2011 at Norwich. Happy with that
Now it's time to do all the final bits and bobs that I've been saying "Oh that can wait until near the time"
Brain is now shouting "The time is NIGH"
Been for a pre MOT and the headlights got tweaked at the MOT station & minor brake issue to sort. That's done now & the beast will have
retest on Monday.
And then it's the big nervy wait........................
hi Peter
I take you are not having an Mot done..
Have you given the mot station the chassis number or is it just a "friendly" pre mot test.
I have heard it can cause problems if the car is on the mot database before its registered.
cheers Gavin
Just a Pre MOT with a free retest coz they are just nice guys who love love love love love the car
dont have it recorded as a test, this may affect when the car has to be tested after registration ie within a year not the 3 years a newly registered gets
Yep. Just a pre MOT check and that's all. Just to squeeze out some of the problems that are outside what I can do without the right kit. Also to make sure nothng stupid slips though.

All very odd this MOT stuff. I had seen stuff about it before so thats why I opted for the pre inspection rather than an MOT. Does anyone know what the real deal is with this issue or is it one of those "Depends what official you deal with" problems.
Grass tracking around the house today with a couple of spotters. After the pre MOT good news thought I'd give it some shock and ore testing. And
no matter how we drove it and how rough / smooth the ground (or how wet the grass) the fronts locked before the rears every single time.
We managed to identify and fix a couple of rattles and bangs. Only one odd bang from around the rear wing, when driving over rabbit holes, remains
unsorted.
Should we really worry about that?
Body work held up without and cracks or spidering forming, very happy about that
So only two jobs remain.
1. Big mud washers to load spread under the car at the seat mounting points.
2. Weld up the brake rods to make the permanent (and then pray all the tesing matches the IVA testing)
OMG the day is getting close!!
The only other thing is the body design. The front wheels throw everything into the side wheel vents, mud, leaves, stones and even the remains of fox
kill (pigeon to be precise). Also the rear light clusters take a bit of a pounding from the same sort of rubbish. The alloy mesh that protects the
rear wiring, tank and fuel pump woks well in this area and the front light boxes work well. The engine bay stayed clean along with the electrics.
Could be some long term protection work to do with the side pods and vents then.
Sod and his damn law.
There I am, with just a few days to go, fluffing and polishing (just coz it helps me see all the little details and coz it passes the nervy time
quicker) and what should happen. The rear fog light decides to make a break for freedom. I mean all that testing and bouncing and crashing around no
prob. One touch of a polising cloth and all hell breaks lose.
Looks like the LED lamp mount has cracked so a desprate last min swop is now in hand.
Good Greif
