Classic Alfa Forums

Hi all.... feel the need to celebrate! The Sud passed its first MOT in my custody, always a worry when you rush into a classic heart purchase! Ive had 7 Alfas mostly modern (at the time) and NONE ever passed first time, granted, I spent yesterday morning swearing and fiddling with the handbrake on my "Hand brake Testing Facility" (Sloped drive and caravan wheel chocks to anyone else) anyway works now, obviously.
AND. The kind MOT man has given me a fiddling about itinerary for the next 12 months of tinkering attached to the certificate!
Happy days!

Chris

I feel the waves of relief coming off you!

Congratulations.

I'm not sure I've seen or heard about your sud. Any details/photos?

Well done chris,

Where did you use by the way?

Nice one mate

Always good news

Shrew, used Archers on the corner of Vale road, most of the staff here do as it is easy to fit in the work day, the other half did her usual "Its my MOT tomorrow...." thing, and I had to get her 500 in quick, so used them and they didn't do the bulb out fail job, they just fitted another bulb and passed it....always the sign of common sense, so I just dropped it in their on way to work.

Whats the 1 or 2 .

small hole in exhaust (have brand new one in loft) play in wheel bearings at the rear..... and that's it!!!!

Might even treat it to a clean and hoover before the 23rd for being so good!
