Well, my beastie passed it's MOT this week - and the total work required was..........NOTHING!!

No corrosion, no wobbly bearings, No headlamp alligning, no mixture tweeking, not even a hand brake to tighten - even though the MOT was carried out at a VERY reputable garage.

I do love it when a plan comes together!

Just had mine done but required another chunk of chassis replacing. Asked the station to have a good prod around and no horror stories showed up. Waxoyl aplenty applied.

Passed MOT as well, but did the work before (and during): replaced all front ball joints and suspension bushes. And as all time went into the front suspension had to go to MOT with raised headlight pods, and tweak CO 50% down during MOT!

Edited for: welded some plates on my outriggers as well (the outriggers themselves were fine)

Mine failed on steering rack, it was cheaper to buy a new one than source the parts and repair the old one, passed now, what a difference

Well it passed. The only problem was Fog Lights, a quick clean of the switch sorted that out. Getting a bit sick of the crap switches. The hazzard switch broke a few weeks ago, ordered another TR7 one but it doesn't fit.
