'Rocky' the. '6 is in for his MOT today, I've been in possession of the car for about 2 weeks with a previous owner who did sweet FA to it; no maintenee, no cleaning, nothing!

Place your bets!

Fail because it's a ph2 Diablo and therefore will fall apart on the ramp?

So picked it up today; failed as expected.. a fair few real PICKY bits..

offside headlamp levelling inoperative
offside headlamp aim too low

N/s front indicator wrong colour

N/s rear indicator wrong colour
O/s rear indicator wrong colour

n/s front brake binding
o/s front brake binding

o/s rear brake binding

Now the "incorrect colour" indicators stumbled me somewhat; front is a given; only bulb i had when changing lights

the rears; they are orange but faint i suppose? so bough some new, and i can barely tell the difference; bit picky

binding brakes; literally had brand new pads and discs and think it needs some more miles to bed them?

headlamp i'll pop it open and find what the issue is.


Any more advice on binding brakes would be awesome Smile

the bars should slide in and out of the caliper nice and free
gently remove the rubber and the bar should pull out
clean it up nice, and the tube it slides in, apply some grease and reasemble Wink

Just to add use silicone grease on the sliders.
