NCT:
after only having done 1030 miles since the last test, I wasn't expecting too much needing doing.
As it turns out it was indeed things I knew I needed to do anyway!
-Brake performance below required level
-Emissions 1.07 (above 1.03 allowed)
-Headlight adjustment
I had intended to do the brakes in the new year anyway, this just hastened the need to do them by a few weeks! Pads and discs all round ordered, arrived next day from ECP, a job for between Christmas and New Year!
Given the amount of acting up it's been doing at idle and coming off roundabouts/ up to junctions, plus the fault codes on Peugeot Planet pointing toward the oxygen sensor acting up, bit the bullet and ordered one, again to be fitted next week (that'll be fun).
Swapped the headlights off the scrap cab I picked up over the summer onto mine without checking adjustment, so again not entirely unexpected!
Also, picked up a ropey set of cyclones for €50! Two tyres and a refurb needed but I'll pick the best 4 from the 8 I now have and refurb them, and keep the other 4 on the scrapper so I have a rolling shell if I need to move it.
