The 320 is in for an MOT at the moment. Sat by the phone, biting my fingernails, hoping it passes. I did a check over the weekend on the things I could do easily but I suspect it may need new shocks.

I'm listing all the things in my head that it could fail for, but hopefully I've got a friendly tester who doesn't mind a bit of rust and passes it.

Fingers crossed.

Just had the phone call and it failed, but on a rear n/s suspension bolt snapped/missing and some welding required. I knew the welding could be an issue and planned to get that sorted and there was an odd knocking noise coming from the suspension so I can get that fixed too. Hopefully should fly through a restest.

New emissions tests don't seem to have been a problem.
