Good luck Andy. I'll be down on my prayer mat, pleading with the great god Ferric Oxide to give you a flying pass. Don't let them use this - (VOSA call it a 'Corrosion Assessment Hammer') ![](http://www.tool-supplies.co.uk/images/H1MOT copy.jpg)

Is this multiple choice? What odds are you offering?
At least its not blown a seal.
MOTs are computer controlled now. Best wait for the server to go down. I can see it in the papers now "Government computers shut down by Commer Virus"

![Sad](http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/Smileys/classic/sad.gif) Oh dear. Things go off to a very poor start when the MOT man wound the driver's window down and it came off it's runners and dropped into the bottom of the door with a terrible clatter. He seemed a bit embarrassed. Next the brake test showed a 21% imbalance between L and R rear brakes. It was later pointed out to me that oil contamination of the brake shoes is being caused by a leaking halfshaft seal. Next, the handbrake didn't work on the nearside, and as the nice man put it; "I had to apply the footbrake, otherwise it would have been a fail". So in the words of The Gimp, smack my arse and call me Bertie! She passed. As I drove off up the road overjoyed, good old Jeremy Vine started playing Something inside (so strong) by that Labia Siffrie. The Strange Attractor shows it's face again. We're going to Le Mans!! ![Cheesy](http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/Smileys/classic/cheesy.gif)

So you have been blowing seals again. Please to hear that you've got air conditioning too.

Outstanding and welcome, if rather surprising, news I particularly like the lubrication of the brakes on one side - are you planning to even it up by making the other halfshaft leak too? I do just hope that the dear old girl is not lulling you into a false sense of security by passing the MOT first time.............and what are you going to do with all the spare time you now have leading up to the great race?

Thank you gents for your good wishes.
Mark, nothing will go wrong between now and LM, mainly because, except for a short run to the council tip tomorrow, she'll not be going anywhere for fear of some random component breaking/falling off etc.
With regard to the spare time, well nothing out of the ordinary, but the weather's looking good, so maybe some golf, gardening, a few evenings in the pub, and working on reducing my Tardive Dyskinesia, you know, the usual kind of thing.
