Ah, the pain that is the MoT.. have a feeling mine'll fail on a CV boot next year, there was a tiny, near invisible split in it when I refitted it a couple of weeks ago, I bet that'll grow by the MoT. Think I'll get a mechanic to do that though, I really dispise anything to do with CV joints now..
Anyway, glad it was only minor stuff :)

Mines gunna fail on cv boot too seen as though the inner arch is covered in grease :-D
And i reckon one of my headlights aint adjusted right, as other drivers flash me at night like i have full beam on. (i press the full beam switch when they flash now and blind them for being so interfearing)

Hah, that's the way to do it :D I've got to remember to point my fogs upwards and remember to take the covers off at night, give people who flash me a real piece of my mind :) Think I'll fail on headlight adjustment as well, I fitted the twin spot grille myself so the adjustment's miles out. Not as bad as when I got it, when I could actually point one of my headlights in the upstairs window of a house as I drove past, but still pretty bad :)
