So NCT time on Saturday morning! Friday night (minus 2 degrees) I went out to check all was well and fit the daughter's seat, I ran my hand over the rear window and it cracked! Had anticipated it failing anyway so taped it up with clear parcel tape and drove it in.
Unsurprising- it failed
Surprising- no mention of the rear window!
Failed on:
Both front ball joints
Indicator repeater
Steering rack gaiter
Alignment to be redone
All in I reckon not bad for a 500 quid car that was sitting for 18 months!
Drive it Sunday morning to my local Sunday League team who were playing at home (I play and I'm chairman) and the match was abandoned after 30 mins due to a waterlogged pitch. Cue 45 mins of pushing A4s, insignias, c5s and Passats out of the muck, and I started up and bounced out! Cue smug smiles!
Also had my Chief Mechanic Chloe with me for the test!
