Put the old girl in for a annual MOT and she passed.
With a few advisories,
Offset drive shaft gaitor leaking
Both front tyres near wear limit
Noisey ehaust
Slight corrosion on rear brake unions
See would have failed on the emissions but he could find the engine code, so instead of testing the emissions at 2500-3000 rpm it was done at idle and I'd mapped it to run slight lead on idle :)
Lucky enough just as he drove it off the ramp after finishing the MOT the lambda light came on.
EFI-233 adapative idle air trim, reset it before driving it home all ok now :)
Just checked the mileage between MOT's and she has done a earth shattering 1417 miles in a year.

Glad to hear it passed Rob - Mine went straight through the emissions etc with your M4.4 in :)

Well done, about the same miles as me in 12months

I only use my car when back in the UK (which is 2-3 days each month over the past year), and I still somehow managed 3k miles between MOT's :o

The Gul is due in January, so far it's done 300 miles in 10 months
The sonic and Gul haven't turned a wheel for 23 days, however the sonic will be used tomorrow.
Glad it passed again!
