The MoT is booked for Wednesday (the 10th). I'm quite confident that it should pass (be prepared to watch me eat those words!). Last year it failed on 2 bulbs and I've done a lot of work on it since I bought it about a year ago. |

Surprisingly it failed. What was more surprising was that it failed on the offside outer CV boot which was the same side that had a new driveshaft fitted. The boot had popped off so I got my local garage to replace the grease that had escaped and refitted the CV boot with a new clip and it passed the retest so that's all done and dusted for another year. |

If you are using cable ties on the cv boot? I would check it every week  As they are not good at all on cv boots  Cheers, Tony. |

No cable ties involved. I've had a look at the offside outer CV joint (the one where the boot popped off) and it has been refitted with the correct type of clip. |

I'm pretty sure Nigel (the tester) would have sulked a lot if it hadn't been done right! |

It was good enough for Nigel who saw fit to issue the MoT certificate so it is good enough for me. |

Oh feck! I had a blowout on the offside rear tyre on the way to work. I was on the motorway at the time and I didn't know that the tyre had failed until I had found a safe place to stop off the motorway. Because I didn't have a spare (most modern cars have a can of tyre sealant instead of a spare wheel) I had to get the RAC to recover me to the nearest tyre fitter. I had fitted Avon ZV7s to the front last year so I had a pair of the same tyres fitted to the rear costing me just over £200. A previous owner had fitted a full set of Nexens following the 2016 MoT (there was an advisory on tyres worn to the legal limit). As a result I was just over 4 hours late for work. I had my GoPro in the car at the time so I've got it on video. |

Oh feck! I discovered the the offside outer CV boot has split. I've been on to the motor factor that supplied the driveshaft and they will get it exchanged for me. |
