MOT passed again :-)

Passed MOT again just front tyres worn on the inside advisory due to the neg camber I'm running so happy with that result.

Worked out my mileage for the last year bearing in mind it's a weekend car and it was 9788 miles thought it would have been around 5000 good job I got unlimited mileage on the insurance policy, just going to tax it now and then it's all sorted for the next 12 months.

Although I'm changing the gearbox on Monday hopefully that goes without too many dramas, got access to a 2 post ramp so will be a lot easier than doing it on the floor.

That's good news, what's up with your gearbox?

Welcome to my world mate... Still not done my box Ill make a start on it in the next few weeks, need it ready for Bobs RR day

Well done for the pass.
My one's booked in next week so see how it goes..

Cheers Pete, Got a nice metallic grinding noise from it and rumbling noise when driving, but no issues with gear changing it is still the same as it always has been so think it is probably the input shaft bearing on its way out. Got a spare untested box so going to fit that and see if it's a good one if not then I will be on the lookout for another one.

Yes Gaz get your finger out and get it changed mate ready for the RR, hoping to have mine done and dusted in a couple of hours

Good luck John, I thought mine would fail due to all the creaking, grinding and rumbling noises etc

Congrats mate Mines not for ages yet but I'll be screeching when it has it done!

Did about 800 miles in mine last year if I'm lucky .

Christ that's alot of miles good on you!

This whole MOT thing seems like a royal pain

Its a proper ballache

Not really any hassle if your car half decent, MOT rules in UK are pretty lapse really.
obviously finding then sticking with decent sensible MOT station makes a big difference for long term hassle free fair MOT's

I agree but its the aggro of having to take your car there if you work like i do all week it normally means taking time off to take it most of the ones round my way take mot'ing to the next level well over the top ...

^ that would have to be the most annoying part.

Or you get someone like me who will take it for you. ..
I Collect from your home or work and take for mot and then return it. .....

Or go on a Saturday ...
Swap with her in doors & she can drop it in ...

I normally work all week including weekends i get one day off every two weeks and thats a sunday ....my girlfriend is just starting to learn to drive and has no chance of even sitting the in the drivers side of the pulsar lol .....il bare that in mind rob .... i dont think it would be cost effective for you to come from the iow to mot my car

There must be a mobile mechanic near you that would take it for ya. ....

Suppose the problem is then trust. ..
Would ya trust some random grease monkey not to thrash your car?

You hit the nail on the head there rob its trust its not to bad with a pulsar enthusiast as probably wouldnt be launching it like an idiot ...whenever ive borrowed a car or drove customers cars i drive it like a grandad ...
