    MOT time!

    Just got the call, valver has failed its MOT :(

    Only failed on NSF tyre - was replacing it regardless, so that's not an issue (damn fast wearing F1s ;)) - and on the Handbrake

    Apparently this is due to the rear brakes being crap. The garage is replacing the pads/callipers, so should pass then.

    But the discs were only changed last year and have since corroded, indicating a lack of use! As my tyre wear figure shows, that shouldn't be there case :p - what could be causing this? weak callipers/dodgy brake bias valve?

    Atleast it was nothing major - only got advisories for a slight blow in the exhaust and 'some' corrosion on the arch! Another season for the valver! :D

    old calipers more than likely. if there,s a problem with the bias he will have trouble bleeding the new calipers
