Finally have a '6, Spares or repair car now got an MOT!
#10
There are always surprises with used cars and this one is no different.

It doesn't look as nice in the flesh as it does in the photos that for certain.

Only three stamps in the service book but loads of receipts for servicing from independent garages.

Have all the previous MOT's to.

I fitted the O/S handbrake cable today as I had some spare, will fit the other once I get it home.

I've ordered a cat and Lambda sensor from ECP.

Anyone know if the NGK Lambda sensors ECP sell are any good?

The car failed on carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle, could this be down to the cat not being hot enough?

I'm thinking of running some cataclean through it before the test and hope that might sort it. If it fails again replace it with the lambda.

There are signs of the car being jacked by the chassis and there is a lot of rust there so I'll be stripping that back and reseal it before it gets worse.

You can see here how much the plate has bent. You would think once it starts cave in they would stop jacking the car by that place. It's the same in the other side to :-(
