[QUOTE="Hadders, post: 536408, member: 17731"] Just a word of warning to the unsuspecting I took my 68 for MOT a few weeks back, relatively confident that it would pass. It failed last year, but only on steering damper and handbrake, so minor stuff, and it's since had a csp disc kit up front, all new suspension along with a few other bits and bobs. Anyway, it failed , with a page and a half of issues, ranging from unbalanced brakes, knackered ball joints, rotted chassis, and more. It's not a fair weather van, but it only really gets used from April - Oct, so it gets no salt, so whilst it's no show winner underneath, it's not getting significantly worse either. Decided a second opinion was worthwhile, took it to a place in Litchfield, used by someone who will be well known to many of you on here, and it passed first time, with just an advisory on the handbrake. I won't name the culprits, but if I say they're between Little Eaton and Kilburn, that'll narrow it down for the locals. Just be careful, there are still some unscrupulous feckers out there eager for your cash [/QUOTE]
