MOT Passed!!!
He had a little word to me about the front brake not being much good, "but they're all like that sir!"
So far so good, havent done many miles yet, gearing is abit low with 16 on the front which means its not really happy above 60ish. Will put a 17 or 18 on shortly.

Well done mate, glad you got it sorted, now all you need is to fit a booby trap in your garage to lop any thieving scum's head off.
