Hey!

Put the 320 in for an MOT on friday-failed on three things

1.Wiper blade torn ( :hammer: )

2. Hand brake showing 'little effort' (one side completely seized)

3. A suspension bush at the back.

These will all be attended to on Tuesday, so should be 'Willie Nelson'd' by Wed :)

The MOT tester said that it had never been welded underneath, and that the original underseal was still present-Hee apparently hadnt seen one like that in years :cool:

As a treat, on the way home -i had its ar%e out on every roundabout (with no MOT and no tax 8O ) the girlfriend was impressed

can still hear the sound of my 6pot hittin 6000rpm :D

suffice to say, my good self will fit the wiper blades :D

The rear bush and handbrake are bing done by a mate who has the special tool for removing/fitting the bush so shouldnt cost too much!

Was well chuffed that it dont need welded-best get the waxoil ready to keep it that way!

Glad yours has now past-enjoy it :cool:

I got the man to do my wiper blades because i put the previous ones in myself. Badly. The rubber blade bit kept sliding out of the wiper. In rain, I had to keep stopping every few miles to slide it back in :oops:

Hope you have better luck with yours!

Good news mate!

Wipers blades are ok, just make sure you clip the little holder in properly and click in the blade properly and the right way round and you'll be fine!
