YES! MOT passed!

Drove it down for the yearly MOT last thursday.
The day before I prepared it by renewing two lamps, registration plate and one half beam.
Since it was a little oily in the engine bay, I cleaned it.

The clerk had some problem with the exhaust "K-value" (as I understand it meassures the amount of particles).
The limit here in Sweden is 1.1 and the first try gave 4.3. The lowest was 1.2 . The clerk thought it was a cold engine, so he wrote 1.0 in the paper :D . I suspect that this can be MAF (yes, I have been lazy).

I got a clean inspection record :dance: and a another year of driving!

But last friday it was the common (or well known) power cut outs at about 2000-2500rpm and they are getting worse. So I have to give the engine connectors a really good spray with cleaner. Probably it was the cleaning with high preassure water that caused the problem.

But as it passed the MOT it is worth it!!

Yes Robbie, I hope so too.

Good swedish there Fogman!

My plans was to do much more, and our little new born was planned to se the world at april 27.
But, as with children, don't plan to much. The little princess arrived at may 10, 3.810 kg and 53 cm.
So she will ride in a car that is aimed for a little princess :D, at least for another year!
