righteo....
I took MYA to the garage where i used to work for her MOT, yesterday was not a good day
MYA FAILED! MYA is my first ever car to fail an MOT !
She failed on: -
third break light not working
worn bushes near the bottom arms
emissions...it was a smokey day as MYA was belching black smoke!
Air bag warning light flashing - ever since i swapped seats
The failure reason on the sheet was : -
third break light not working - now fixed, cables were broken in 3 places in the boot !
This has made me think about breaking as she'd not be worth selling due to body work issues.....or put a 12 month ticket on her and run until i can afford a 406 i like ?
I'm torn as i like MYA but she has issues now and i'm not sure, the negative list is...
Engine made a horrible/loud grinding sound whilst being tested and doesnt sound the same now
boots dented
dent under bootlid/above bumper - where the 306 badge sits
scraped front and rear bumpers
dent pass rear door
needs new bonnet
rust starting to show on shell where the furry door seal strip pushes on at top of door
rusting on inner nearside wheel arch
gearbox getting a rough feel
front o/s wheel bearing
rear shoes soon
tempremental electrics that piss me off : -
- speedo stops sometimes
- rev counter works sometimes
-
The car has good bits and is worth breaking also..
WHAT TO DO ???
