Another MOT has come and gone.
19 months after the new cat was fitted I was told I needed another. Despite a bottle of fuel additive and Italian tune up on the two previous days (by me), the MOT station could not get the emissions to pass. They said the cat was to blame as I have done less than 2000 since the last MOT. After fitting a new larger & better quality one the emissions passed, with the print out showing a marked improvement. A list of advisory notes only includes two items of any concern, namely outer cv gaiters perished and slight play in o/s steering joint.
On the other hand, there was numerous comments about how well the car looks, even under the bonnet, and how well kept it is, from the fitters and from other customers. However, I was urged to use it more lol
Total cost, MOT, service & new cat, was £413 but I will be going back to show them the dirty oil mark on the driver's door card velour, glove box, door cill and over mat!

That was nice of them.
Moving the mark on the door card might be fun.
