Jerzy Woking Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Took the Doblo for its Spanish MOT (the ITV). There are just three places to take it to in a 30mile radius of me, and all they do is testing. Made my appointment on line, got there a bit early as have to produce last ITV and the Spanish log book. They check my insurance on their insurance database. Hand over €51.60 and then move my car to one of the six lanes. Called in to the bay after a couple of minutes by the young tester. He instructed me to stay in the car whilst he did a check of the tyres, then opened all the doors and checked the inside, and lifted the carpet to check the VIN. He then requested I switch on the lights, indicators, washers, etc for him to check, all the time fiddling with his phone. For the emissions test, he attached some sensors to somewhere under the bonnet, then got me to rev it and hold it at 3000rpm (difficult!) for 15 seconds or so, then a couple of seconds at 4000rpm. All good. I then had to drive it on to the brake rollers, and apply the front brakes when he said, then move forward so the rear wheels were on the rollers to see the rear brakes and handbrake operated correctly. Finally moved forward over a pit where he seemed to swing off of all the suspension mounts-the car really shook as he did each one, and checked the brake pads too. He then instructed me to turn the steering wheel left to right several times. Coming out of the pit he went into the small booth, and stood behind a computer. Within a minute he was out, with my printed test result and a sticker for the inside of the windscreen. As he handed them to me, he said "Your car is A1. Perfect". Twelve minutes start to finish. Next test due in two years. TL:DR. My car passed the Spanish MOT. Tickman, catsinthewelder, dome and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommotech Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 MOT day for the Alfa 147 and the Dispatch van today. The van will most likely go up for sale with full ticket, fleet reduction needed as I have a new van project. Updates later.

Sh'Eds Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Decided to take the morning off, with the kids back in school I have caught up on work so fixerating cars is a possibility again. The day started well with a simple U-joint replacement: Next job on the list was a new differential pinion seal (which has been sitting awaiting fitment for 9 months) and of course it was the wrong part. New one ordered and hopefully here next week then I can try again! dome, Six-cylinder and Cord Fourteener 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
