Good Luck!!

Should be OK, unless the tester is in a particularly bad mood, and startts getting too 'picky'!

Just ensure the tester got laid the night before, passes all day long!

Excellent stuff, well done.

Both of mine are up for the annual next month, so I'll soon be threatening to scrap them again!

A 50p bulb for a years motoring, and people say old cars arent eco friendly!

Well Done, Cacaolat!!

Another 12 months on the road for a BX!

Ain't it funny that we always threaten to scrap our cars if/when they fail an MOT, and call 'em the biggest heap of cr@p on the planet.....but they become our pride & joy that we wouldn't sell for any price, once they've got that 12 month ticket again??

3 of mine are due in the next few months, SD1 will need something small as always. Xantia will fail on emissions and the 16v

And sellers wonder why no one wants their non-MOT'd BX's on eBay. I can't understand why someone would advertise a car (often with an OTT reserve) saying something like 'no MOT but can't see any reason why it shouldn't pass'. Yeah, right!

Anyway Gregor, WELL DONE - another notch in the bedpost of BX ownership!

I swear at my cars all the time, and threaten them with the scrapman every other day!

You should hear my dad. Every week his triton green 16v (seen at the ccc meet this year) is for sale!. Mainly because its leaking oil from the top somewhere at the mo and on a posh estate it doesnt go down to well when the road and footpath is coated with oil and lhm

If he carries on moaning ill buy some ear plugs.

You want to tell your neighbours about "Rolls Royce" syndrome.
The only time they dont leak oil is when there is no oil left in them to leak!
