First job on the list is underway. New discs and pads all round,they arrives yesterday for the princely sum of £61...

First wash and polish too...

[PedroB]

Having changed the discs and pads at the weekend, the MOT got done today.



Not too bad really.

The MOT tester reckons that the tyre has scrubbed so badly because of the play in the suspension but also because the hydragas is running a bit low. He owned an MGF and had a look over it while it was up on the ramp and said he couldn't see anything untoward with the spheres etc so looks like a £30 top up.

I have also bought a few bits to tidy up the scabby bits of interior.

Gaiters need replacing



as do the scabby door cards

Discs and pads £61.75
