Good luck Steve,
It should sail through with all you've done, as long as you leave the garden shed off.
Austin's MOT is due on 30 Jun, so I'd best book it early just in case.
I intend a full fettle for t'Alps.
There's always one more job to do.
You just gotta luvvum smashbiggrin

I had advisories for steering rack play but it turned out to be the track rod end had play in the thread, and although the lock nut was tight you could force some movement in it when grabbing the tyre. It was a new TRE as well, but a QH item resolved the issue and I had no more advisories afterwards.

.......but had to use an old skool g-meter to test the brakes cos his roller middle section was too high for the low-rider S!

Only took my s3 out for one long weekend last year, that put little over 3100 miles on the counter;)

Oop North? Are you going to visit Maffe for breakfast Steve? wink

Looking forward to the Barn Farm w/end.
The rain now is just to get rid of residual atmospheric moisture by the 17th.
Don't forget the knotted hanky & Factor 50.

Top Tip: When knotting the hanky, include a steel nut at each corner for extra security at speed.
( Stainless nuts in Phillpot's case. )

No need to book the camping, but I would recommend booking for a meal at the Red Lion, Birchover on Fri & sat evenings.
Just give your name & say you're with the TVR party party Last food orders 8pm.

The Druid Inn at the bottom of the village is a bit more of a gastro-pub, but we never got past the Red Lion last year! beerbeer
