Good luck to you as well The insurance is about due on the Vitara so I hope it all goes OK as we will be shortly be putting the Vit up for sale to help fund an E39 touring. Then sadly mine will be going as well.. (will be greatly missed  - but hey ho - gotta move on)------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped.. No BMW as yet... |

Mines due in tomorrow, had an absolute nightmare trying to trace a broken wire for the RH licence plate light, once sorted then was shorted to LH fog light so when boot shut, still only one licence plate and a foglight instead Paul -------------  95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |
Eventually sorted out and all electrics and now dreading tomorrow!Posted By: Rhys

Big sigh of relief - passed with near flying colours. just had an advisory about the rear of my exhaust (no big deal, little bit of rust thats all) The chap I use is pretty strict when it comes to testing and takes pride in his work. ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped..

My missus is well peeved! It's the second year in a row that my car been cheaper to MOT than hers, before then my bill would normally be £200-300 each time, and hers flew through - now it's my turn to rub it in! Paul ------------- 95 E34 530i V8 Auto Maldives Blue |
