Well it went in for the MOT today, my friendly chap says it's running TOO LEAN of all things...

A fail on a minor suspension component which I have welded up to get a pass while I wait for the replacement to arrive. The suspension is so stiff I hadn't noticed it was broke!

So first thing tomorrow back for a gander and another year of wedging to look forward to.

Ha ha - the welded bit got me to the MOT place (1 mile), then to work (20 miles), then I heard it go 'ping' on the way home!!! I think it's possibly high tensile so a mild weld isn't up to it.

But - it did the job! MOT sorted, certificate printed. New parts in the post so will go on in a few days.
