Title: MOT pass for Foxy.
Post by: Chilli Girl on November 23, 2019, 14:59
Well chuffed and no advisories.  What a difference to last Saturday's traumatic event to this Saturday morning.  A nice compliment from the mechanic too, "you've got a very clean and healthy example there".   ;D

Well mine passed today too :)

Did have an advisory on the brake discs but I sort of expected it

I managed to have a good look underneath and for a 15 year old car, its pretty good

@Chilli Girl Foxy passed her MOT with flying colours earlier on today with no advisories - yay !

Foxy was also treated to her 4th Major service (aka the 160k service) at the same time even though she has covered nearly 100k less than that.

The mechanic at LexTech/Toyodatech said she was "a very nice example of a MR2 roadster with nothing to note other than 1 of the tyre pressures was a little low"  which is great to hear.

I asked them to check the handbrake as it bites around 8 clicks or so (which is much higher then my preference) however he said it was pulling perfectly even and well within spec so all good.

So Foxy is all serviced, MOTed and ready for another years motoring.

Told you she was a good 'un @Mickemo.  Can I have her back? ;)  Seriously though,really pleased to hear her news. Keep taking care of her, she'll give you years of reliability. Thanks for the update.  ;D
