MOT looming!

[danhutton]

Its due soon on my '94 4.0HC! Do I need to start saving?

Yes my last one was 42 quid. Robbing barstewards.
But seriously, if you dont know then probably yes.

Try to think of the MOT as a safety check. On a recent MOT my Audi failed due to a loose brake pipe union. I'm glad it was found before I found it, the hard way.

If your TVR is running well, brakes pull up evenly and the handbrake kind of works, chassis isn't rotten and all the lights/horn work then you should be OK. (Most cars fail on stupid things like bulbs/horn/tyres which owners with half a brain check before they spend £40.)

My TVR has only ever failed one MOT - and that was 2 weeks ago (after 6 MOTs in my hands) due to a dodgy handbrake. All fixed now (needed a new caliper due to adjuster/caliper not playing ball). Again, I'm glad the problem was identified because the caliper was going South and I'd rather they told me instead of me finding out at Hall Bends or something.

So far my MoTs have only cost me the petrol to getto the station and the cost of the test itself.

Now the servicing and other mainteneance - well thats a different story.

If the cars all together then it should not be a problem

Clutch is fine - was replaced middle of last year- The suspension is a different matter - being sorted at Peninsular at the moment !

Take a flat on Wednesday with a bit of luck whilst I find the right house.
