That's great - Only a simple adjustment to get through.

Mine's due in November but have taken the car off the road. It's getting some TLC over the winter and will emerge and hopefully fly through the MOT next spring.

Always a scary time for old car owners, I find regular use helps to stave off MOT blues. The TR7 did virtually zero miles in the last two years & failed it's MOT everytime generally on brakes (hand and/or foot) because they seized with lack of use.

Sounds good to me TRX. They always get you on somthing. I got an advisory for the steering shaft UJ. It was new 10K miles ago & I can't find any play in it.
