If anyone has any mot questions then feel free to ask me, been doing them for 8 years so hopefully I'll be able to answer any sensible questions.

Mine passed the other week the main dealer was gutted when he had to come out and tell me it had passed without one single advisory not bad for a 99 car.

Just a quick heads up for those with an older car. We had one in today at the sat club to prep for an MOT, now we knew we had to do one rear brake pipe as this was an advise from last year (which the owner chose to ignore till this years test was due ) anyway we did this which was the rear pipe along the side of the subframe a common pipe to need replacing on the S2000, So pipe done bleed brakes then the pedal started to creep a quick check around revealed a brake pipe had bust under the plastic shield near to the brake compensator, you could not see the area of corrosion with the cover in place and it would have passed an MOT had it not burst, once the cover was removed it was plain to see where the trouble was, so over the next few weeks i will be removing mine to check the pipes where it sits in the plastic clips,
