Rolling road, light adjustment and gas analysis no problem, then the mechanic got exited at the prospect of driving a wedge and shot back to put the car on the ramp ripping the gas analyser tube, which he had left in the exhaust, out. So then he got worried about the smoke curling up out of the dash and the speedo going white, told him I had been caught in a storm with the hood down and it was just condensation! Then the intermittant 'I am going to have one dim headlight syndrome' struck. Had to go home and fiddle 2 hours later found it just needed the spades on the back of the head light nipping shut a bit. Went back got the MOT. On the way home Trevor celibrated by setting off his first car alarm, was really proud of him. Must find out which wire is burning behind the dash!

LOL!

That all sounds familiar

I wonder how high it registers on the 'most stressful life events' list.

Depends on where you take it...

Though that's probably on the way out with the new system... bastards
