Failed...... grrrrrr on the hand brake and an advisory on front passenger side wheel bearing.

Took it to someone I knew hand brake all adjusted and has now passed, the wheel bearing will be done this afternoon.

The interesting thing is the emissions, last years readings,

CO 1.078 this year 0.127 but PPM limit was 271 this year 416 not sure if having the injectors cleaned helps with those readings.

The worst thing about it is that the car has done 779 miles since the end of March 2017 ;o((((((

Was planning to drive it to Poland and back then to decide whether to sell or to keep.

No bearing kit in stock so just ordered one from CarParts4Less should be here in a few days so the work can be done next week.

RM2186 it passed later on in the day when the adjustments where made, will just sort out the wheel bearing as a precautionary piece of work.

I've just this morning returned having successfully passed the motorists annual interrogation , which is not bad considering the cars' been off the road for 11 years .One advisory the two rear brake pipes over the diff .

I forgot to add I've replaced all the fluids, suspension , steering rack, ball joints , bulbs, track control arms so maybe that helped a bit
