Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Mines a 57 reg and never had an advisory I’m quite proud of that it’s always a relief when it passes.

Smug feeling ain’t it?

Although of course mines a year older than yours......double smug  Regards

I’ve never had any car that I’ve ever owned fail an mot test and I’m going back to the late 70’s.

Mine passed today. Another 13 months before I need to do it again

I went to a busy little local garage near me as, after last year’s fiasco with unnecessary and expensive work allegedly required at a main dealer, I won’t ever let a main dealer MoT test my car again.

Advisory - not recorded...
Pin hole in N/s track rod end boot. I booked it in to have it replaced immediately so it hasn’t been recorded. About £25 to supply and fit. The the chap says they are a generic part. I looked on line for genuine LR with no success so I’ll let him fit his own part.


Advisory - Recorded

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
engine cover and sill covers fitted

That is all it says and it is not something I have seen before. No doubt I means something but I’ll ask when I drop the car off for the track rod end boot.

Mine was done last week. Car is 9 years old. Has failed once due to excessive play in anti roll bar links (or something like that) and this year got a shed load of advisories for corrosion  Learned to drive in 2011.
