Sometimes I hate my TVR!

[Tyre Tread]

MOT booked for Saturday.

Just relocated to a different part of the country so my old TVR friendly MOT station is not an option consequently the Clive F Y piece needs to be replaced by the original.

When I fitted the Clive F y piece 3 or so years ago it went on with no problem. No straps needed no difficulty at all.

Now, can I get the original to fit - No damn way will it fit.

It's Welsh you 'tard! ;-)

Yep Cardiff now.

Given up for tonight and I'll have another go tomorrow evening.

Bloody hurt my elbow too but don't know how. Don't remember knocking it or anything

Thanks Al, you're right but why does it always play up when you're under the cosh? And how did it fit before, nowt changed, and won't now?

Smaller garage doesn't help either.

Looks like I may have to cancel the MOT.

I had an arrangement with my last place where I left a crate of beer in the boot in exchange for them fitting the cat and removing it again afterwards.

Whether they did or not of course I have no idea but it always passed.

If I'd have known about TVRSSW I might have been tempted to take it to them for an opinion.

As it is I have a car in the garage with no y piece on and an MOT booked for tomorrow morning.

I'm off out to the garage for another go at it.

[Tyre Tread]

Its on. Sort of.

Yes I undid the bolt into the side of the block. And then has a bugger of job getting it back in.

I'll see if they'll pass it as is and then refit the Clive F Y piece.

Would it have been quicker and more fun to drive to a TVR friendly MOT station?

If only I'd thought of that

Thanks Alun.

It is now.

2 MOTs and 2 passes.

The emissions on the TVR are right down low.

Now time to swap it back - Maybe later!
