The only thing taken from the car in the few days it was there ? The offside rear light cluster. Naturally. Did take a few cosmetic bits off it mind, so not entirely a wasted journey.

beko1987 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I've troubleshooter my new scary noise in the zx...Ā Ā The other night the cap on my knob fell off. I've not looked for it yet because I can't be arsed... But on the way home, I idly put my hand on my knob in readiness to change gear and the fucking noise stopped This innocent exposed bit is causing the most god awful noise! Put my palm over it, noise stops! I feel like a bit of a twat but it's making a proper racket!Ā This weekends job is either find the cap or fill that with hot glue.

Three Speed Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I realised the other day that I didnāt know when my wifeās 67 Golf would need its first MOT. A quick check on the DVLA site showed it expires on Jan 29th. So we booked it in for today. I was a bit worried about the chip on the windscreen, otherwise WCPGW? 10 minutes after we dropped it off I had a message to call the MOT place. Not a good sign ?. Turns out I dropped it off too early. A year too early. MOT not due until Jan 29th 2021.? Datsuncog, face, wuvvum and 11 others 4 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Impressively even wear. Ā Given I seem to be eating fronts on the leaf in 8k,I'm not surprised a Tesla gets through tyres quick.Ā How many modern cars are like that before their first MOT? I bet lots.

mrbenn Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Probably so. That said, anyone who lets their tyres get like that shouldn't be driving. Absolutely basic checks re tread depth and pressures, anyone can - and should - be doing it. No excuse. myglaren and Tenmil Socket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytwo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Loved the story of the Golf dropped off a year early for its MoT, thats an absolute classic. Took my Rover for a retest today and got a pass. I repaired a small hole in the offside outer sill and the tester commented that he could not see that anyone had been anywhere near it. I surprised myself with what I was able to accomplish with just a stick welder and a skim of filler. The car needed a new back box, 2 drop links and the sill repaired. Another years motoring for a total bil of Ā£140. Thats what made me grin. Tickman, FakeConcern and paulplom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpingjehovahs Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 These electric cars are great , no maintenance, just plug in and goĀ Ā Followed this on Twitter, the guy who took the pics spotted a police car as he was leaving the car park so duly reported and they went over to deal with it.

andy18s Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 All those torks from zero revs i guess...... On another note i once welded up the chassis rails on a Carlton that had failed it's mot rather spectacularlyĀ The mot garage was in an area were a Lot of mot bodges were tried,filler holding patches on ect So the tester used to insist that any welded cars had to retested without loads of underseal being plastered everywhere Once he view the Carlton he announced that I was definitely in the wrong job (production butcher),and take up the welding full time!
