Mot Time Again

[seatkid]

The old girl flew threw her MOT again!

 

Smoke test - fast pass again (1.4) shows the millers does actually work - I now have several years documentary evidence to prove it! The smoke test used to be average 2.8 before I started using millers almost 3 years ago.

 

11 years/102,000 miles and still original front pads/discs (6mm/23mm) - not bad eh? Back pads were changed at 85,000 miles.

 

MOT tester of many years experience said common thing that Shalaxies fail on are track rod ends and rear springs (that have snapped) and not much else.

 

The old girl never ceases to amaze me. Might treat her to an oil change (only done 12,000 miles since last one).

It's fantastic what a bit of TLC can do but I shouldn't shout too loudly.

 

Mu poor old S reg had its last MOT just before 230K and went through with flying colours and the tester said that the emissions and smoke tests were much about what you'd expect from a nearly new one. 3 days later, it seized up. :( :( :( I might have been able to get it going but my missus had been going on for so long about its disreputable appearance that I just let the scrap man take it away.

 

Re the brake pads, My last Ganada Scorpio had its first rear pads at 150K and fronts at 175k. At about 180k, a white van tried to rape it and it was written off. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Beware the Ides of ....er November?

 

Seriously, I hope you have many more happy years..... ;)

Seatkid - I take it when you say 'millers' as in oil or are you refering to something totally different.

I'm referring to Millers Diesel Power Sport 4 fuel additive. Now apparently updated and replaced by Millers Diesel Power Ecomax
