Gorgeous.
Today was MOT day....
Last night was a late one!!! I have to say big thanks to Rob, Karl, Ian and Mart for helping out in a last ditch attempt to get my Nova ready for its MOT today. With a list of little jobs on the board to get done ready for the MOT we cracked on, with our normal randomness and silly moments caused by a bit of drink and the late night working!!
It was coming light this morning when we left the garage at 4.15 am!! Me and Karl were back in there at 9 o'clock this morning doing a few final checks, and then off down to the petrol station at the bottom of my road for a bit of fuel and a quick road test round the block. Back into the garage for a quick check over. Everything seeming fine.
Anyway took it for the test and it failed on a couple of things, no rear centre lap belt, Headlights too high and not adjusting down and wheel rubbing on gearbox on full lock. So we took it back home, removed the Seat belt clippy in thing, because if it's there they can't test it apparently, threw on some spacers on the wheel and a slight adjustment to the tracking as this is out anyway. Also took the lights out and attempted to clip the motors into the lights, managed to get it to adjust the lights up and down so took it back for it to be checked over again. Got it back on the ramp and tested the lights, still way to high and unable to adjust it down enough. By this time they were closing, so not enough time to check it out again and take it back. Got it back in the garage again and tried again, this time we set up a board and some markers to make sure we got it the lights right. Took the motors back out and this time really forced the motors in until they clipped completely into place. Perfect!!
So now i have to take the car back before 5.30 on monday... All the bits are sorted now, so hopefully it will pass!! Managed to put 4.7 Miles on it today.
Still a lot stuff to do on it over the next few weeks before our trip to germany, but also got to get some miles on it and iron out any problems.
Cheers again to Rob, Karl, Ian and Mart for helping get it ready.
