tried to get the blue chammy taxed. Need to have an MOT that says the 1st of june on it though. Its up on the 28th of this month.

So I need to submit it for a test.

I knew the front springs were both snapped.

Went out looked at the white 1 2 good struts, nice I think to myself. So get the drivers strut off the white one go to start putting it on the blue passenger side, jack it up, springs perfect, ok I thought.

Round to the drivers side and its fine as well! The renault fairies have been out on my car!

Anyway gonna take it down the now, hoping the wee rusty holes on the rear arches dinnae fail it.

Just back from the test.

Sailed through! Laughing Cool Laughing Razz Very Happy

Well the only issue was the offside numbr plate light which I mentioned to him and I stuck the map reading lights bulb in.

So another year on the beast no problems.

The way he was banging about underneath I thought it was gonna fail but nope, soilid as a rock he said.

He always says that about the 19's I take in.
