MOT Station Recommendation

[Paul H]

Took my Vitesse for its annual MOT to Cracknells garage in Thurston just outside Bury St Edmunds - They have carried out  mots on WBL 281H for the last 3 years . Very thorough &  took about 45mins . I was able to watch , ask questions and even went down the pit to examine the underside. Worth every penny to get an expert to give a second opinion as to the integrity and safety of my Vitesse . She passed with no advisories.

Thanks Paul.

Had the Spit MOT'ed at CitreoMech here in Wokingham on Tuesday. Despite the name, they're classic friendly and the older chap did the MOT, as usual with an older car. He's always happy for me to hang around, help with the bonnet, let me look underneath, chat, etc. Got a clean pass, but he suggested to me I ease off the off-side drum one flat as there was a slight drag - I'd been a bit enthusiastic with the pre-MOT brake adjustment!

There's often a classic there. In the past I've seen ... what's the TR4 with GT6 style roof? Or a Landie, an A35 van, XJS, XK140, E-type, or what have you.

Cheers, Richard

Hi Richard - I conveniently forgot to mention a suggestion from the mechanic that the handbrake needed adjusting marginally ?

Took my 68 Vitesse in for an MOT Tuesday, even though it doesn't require one, to Nigel Farrow Cars not even an advisory. I was asked why I was bothering, my answer peace of mind and do not agree with the law change.

Also take my modern there.

Regards
