Well Doc came up today to deliver my stuff and pick up his stuff, I also promised him and MOT for the new cabby.
So he came up we unloaded the car then went for the test, the thing was awful, I re-routed the throttle cable and it was perfect.
At the test the emmisions were spot on the cats theres and semi working, not enough for a cat test but lower than if the cat wasn't there. Just as well its a J reg innit!
The brake test, the brakes being bendix ABS are extremely good. Pedal is good, I can hit the end but I'm a strong laddie. On the rollers the brakes were well balanced and up to standard as was the handbrake, nothing else to note apart from the iffy respray really.
So it passed.
We then took it back and I removed the tow bar on it, Doc 'helped' lol
Anyway heres some pics of it with the towbar removed, much better although it looks like the exhaust is a chammy item!

not to bad eh!
We then had to pump the tyres up on it, but there was a gay metal valve cap stuck solid to the valve, the valve was leaking. so I got the lockign bolt off and then we went to Martins my tyre fitter man. He then changed the valve for us free of charge, top bloke is Martin.
Docs got ph2 alloys to go on it but I like the ph1's on it tbh!
Wicked Neo sent me up centre caps and a heatshield, top man. I rfitted them and the black exec was teleported to a secret location
