mite fail on 2 tyres.. was told 2000 miles left in mid december and iv done 800 since then

FINGERS CROSSED!

you don't need the lights anymore then mate?

also i'd suggest you get 6months tax on this ocassion, then continue getting yearly so that it doesn't come up at the same time as the test.

can lend you some steels for a retest if they're anal about the tyres.

good luck

Mine just cost me £140, re-test is on thursday. The MOT'er (mates dad) fitted my new track rod ends and ball joints last night so it should now sail through. Last year it was good first time, but i've done more to the car since then.

Good luck mate, i was dead worried about mine! but it went thru ok apart from the back lights. Check they are showing the right colour or it might be worth swappin for the originals.
