MOT experiences with a CV8 ?

Hi all.

The first MOT is due in a week or so.

Any wise words you can throw my way regarding what to look out for on the Wortec Sport-Pac modded Ro passing the MOT would be greatly appreciated.

only problem i had was emissions

sailed through 2 now, 04 CV8 with Miltek exhaust and sports cats. Had the 2nd tester set my lights for me on his rig to the maximum legal height while he was checking them. I'd imagine the usual areas that might be a bit suspect will be tyres, emissions and maybe the odd worn bush depending on miles you've covered.

Only issues I've had mentioned on both mine were
1. Rear fog lamp not offset to the right (?!) Same as Mini One I believe.
2. Queried legality of front number plate due to no BS mark (no lonnger a problem from Oct 2007)
3. Also had headlights adjusted up

No emissions issues once the cats had warmed up

My GTS-R just tugged £1,500 out of my pocket.
- 2 rears required
- corroded power steering pipes
- emissions - it failed big time - why? - one of the two muppets who had the car before me decided to remove the cats (more fool me for not looking underneath).

Still I got to travel to Monkfish 3 times from Kent - oh yes better add the fuel as well not shy of £200.

Still you always get a nice friendly reception at the Fish.

These car are a labour of love.

On a similar note, my ro is due it's first MOT on the 19th March - any tips on MOT places close to Dover/Kent region would be much appreciated, as I will have to bring it over before then as I'm working in Belgium for most of the first part of this year...
