Nearly got there!

Windscreen washer failed, worked when I left for the MOT failed. New pump, £8.75 - resolved

Rear offside brake not working (foot brake). One of the pistons was seized, new cylinder, £7.55 - resolved

So retest for Tuesday morning :pilot:


Awesome mats from Torquepartz arrived as well, will get a better image and post it. They’re awesome on all levels, and I’m looking forward to seeing them in the car, once taxed and tested.

Dag-nam-it

MOT retest delayed for the foreseeable. Started the car yesterday morning up at my barn, squeak and other non-descript noises from Cambelt area (new Gates tensioner and belt fitted 34 miles and 1 week earlier)...

Slackened off the aux belt from alternator and restarted - still there.... Question on the appropriate board.

Drat!

If the cambelt is too tight it will make a noise like you have a supercharger fitted and the noise changes with the engine revs.

Check that the belt is not catching on the covers.
