I'll bare that in mind - but I think I'd better test it properly this year 'cause it's a bit hingin' at the moment...
Aye, will post up my 94 page fail sheet

Todays job was to sort the wipers, horn and washer jets.
Got bored of trying to find the short circuits so I wired everything to switches on the ash try 
Looks a bit funny but at least everything works - anyone wants to tell me if the switches have to be labelled for MOT I would be happy?

I had my horn on the steering column before and the mot tester didn't mention it he must have found it himself. It wasn't labelled.

I'll just hang about when it's getting tested then, so I can show - that should be alright I think...
Would look even more shite with labels

WTF is it a space ship now or somthing 
As long as you tell the tester where everything is it should be fine

Yes I know it looks shite, but I need them to work for a test 
Put them on the ashtray so they were slightly out of sight.

Put it away for an MOT today...
On the road out there, started misfiring badly, brakes starting grinding 
Had a wheel off and noticed N/S track arm is bent somehow?!
This could be a sore year for MOT

Wahey, she's tested for another year 
Needed a O/S/F shock, track rod and rod end, about 6" brake pipe.
Not that bad afterall...
HELP
EDIT: Car is underfuelling badly and I don't know what is wrong, the car the engine came from had the same problem so I think this rules out the fuel pump...
I'm thinking FPR, anyone shine any light on this?
