    MOT

    Just had mot done. Not too major, wasnt expecting it to fail tbh cos of the sill work ive just had done.

    Anyways as some of u may no, went to brands hatch yesterday....

    On inspecting the brakes today at the station....one of my ('goodridge') hoses split

    At least it was after ah??

    Obviously failed on that and the good old headlight beam too low lol. And the CV Joint was split so had some flexi gaitors put on. And going back to get the handbrake sorted!

    £120 later and im a happy bunny for a year

    goodridges are also too short for the williams, which is probarbly why they split

    I have Goodridge on mine. I made sure I ordered the R19 16v version, which fit and are longer. I have no problems.

    Good job leighanne! have they replaced the gaitor? Having just replaced both driveshafts and CV joints etc mine are in excellent order. The old ones looked quite worn on passenger side.
