Chugga fails her MOT. by James Bass on Fri Apr 15, 2011 10:44 am
Well it's happened. Chugga failed her MOT this morning. Thankfully nothing too serious though, and should be fixed at the beginning of next week.

EMISSIONS...

The headlight adjust is going to be done by the tester for free when I take her back in. The break pipes (one on the rear axle to NS, and two on the front OS, just behind the shock) as well as the insecure light, will be fixed by my local garage, for the princely sum of £45-50.

Could have been much worse though.

Very true John. Alread cost me £80 + fitting (£20) for new rear shocks, so add this in it's £150. Not bad considering she's 13 yrs old. If that's all she costs me every year, I'll be one VERY happy Fronty owner. :lol:
