MOT

Just been for MOT and yes its a fail.
One front drop link,
front brake pads (just under 1.5 mm limit),
and as expected the steering idler arm.
Not too bad but could do without it.

Pads are easy to do & tut tut for letting yours get so low The steering idler might be a bit of a pig to do but Cosmic would be your man for the job as he loves doing them The drop links are easy to do but can be a little fiddly well my T2 ones were, get some new links & buy a set of poly bushes & they will last 4 times as long & the hadling on the road will be a little sharper aswell

The pads looked OK to me (lol) it looks like it could be new
front pads every year. The drop link no problem but
yes that steering idler will need a huge amount of heat to
get the old 4 nuts off they are known to snap.
