MOT

...passed


thank god.

The classic was fine on everything save emissions...failed abysmally first time round (6x limit on idle) so the friendly MOT man gave it another go and was a little more lenient with the idling revs

job done...no stiff drink required...until the next service in a few thousand miles!

I'm in Maidstone and car will need MOT by end of year. Where did you take yours?

Same as the one I had done on my old 2.5 to check that the Marcos lights would pass a MOT as well.

Seems that apart from the emissions, not a lot can be found wrong after year 3.

my local friendly village garage...a place called Clarke's in Groombridge

any MOT place will do it, and I had fingers crossed it would pass - as any major work would have meant a haul across to Shenfield for some pukka noble engineering...I trust my local with a lot ( it lives or dies by village reputation ) but I wouldn't give it the noble to fiddle with, even outside of warranty, strikes me as too specialist a job.
