ooh dear ive just realised my MOT is due on the 7th of november! hope it doesnt fail on anything majour! anyone got like a small check list to go over so i can have a quick look soon to see if i think anything will fail (im quite good with the ol' DIY mechanics) oooh... ive also removed the spare wheel tray but the hook is still there.. would it be ok to drill the hook rivets out and rivet a blanking plate over (with sealent inbetween) |

Check the link below, there's loads of stuff on Google (type 'MOT checklist') Good luck, mines at the end of this Month, just need to get the brakes sorted and maybe some new tyres and she should be fine... I hope! |

just give all bushes etc a check. have a poke around underneath see if its all still solid, might aswell give a coat of underseal while your there. check operation of all lights. check suspension is in good condition. check hand and foot brakes work correctly. JJ |

oh and give it oil change before. i've always found it helps with the emissions test. JJ |
