It passed (nearly)

[Stig]

Well it was crunch time this morning with the little Pug going in for the dreaded MOT.

152000 miles on the clock and looking distinctly very much like a shed.

I could think off the top of my head, around 5 or 6 things it could possibly fail for. Not looking good.

Well the inevitable happened. It failed. :(

Got a call from the garage telling me the bad news. So now the painful part. What did it fail on and what is it going to cost me?

It failed on a bulb not working for a start. Bloody annoying as I checked all the bulbs were working not 5 minutes before I drove it to the garage. Still, and easy and cheap fix.

It also failed on the horn not working. Not sure how that came about. But then I haven't actually used the horn EVER on the car so have no idea when that might have stopped working.

What else then? Nothing. That was it.

RESULT!

I had the option of taking the car away and rectifying the faults or letting them do it. I've decided to let them do it. At the end of the day I was looking at hundreds of pounds to get it through. So paying £30 for labour I can live with. Besides, it's p**sing it down out there and I can't be bothered to do it.

So the Pug continues to live. Can I get it over the 200k mark? I'll see what I can do. :razz:

Yer that sound perfectly reasonable. I would say about half hours labour to find the problem and to fix it.

Nice one Si the Pug lives on. ;-)

That's exactly what it was. It was the fuse that had blown and I knew it had blown too. :roll:

Still, very happy as I seriously thought it was either going to be very expensive to pass MOT or just too expensive full stop. To have only paid £50.55 I am more than happy.
