well the valver went in for its MOT today, and it FAIL but im soo happy!
i knew it was going to fail becasue the N/S outter CV boot was split and i thought it was going to fail on emmisions and a few other little things................ but..................... it only failed on :
- RBT SERVICE BRAKE EFFICIENCY : 49% (needs to be 50%)
- N/S/F CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT GAITER SPLIT
im over the moon that it passed on everything else but mainly the emmisions as it doesnt have a cat.
CV boot will be sorted next week and the brakes just need a good clean up (mainly the rear drums)
no advisories either so im over the moon
