hi well i have some bad and some good news. the mini went in for its mot on friday morning and guess what it failed not major things really it failed on the offside lower ball joint had play the emmissions were too high the nearside head lamp was too high, it didnt have a fog light oopppss. and lastly the out boot for cv the clip was missing. lucky my local mini garage fitted me in friday afternoon and did all the work for a very good price of £58 for the lot parts and labour. so i booked in for a retest this moring and it passed and also it is now taxed for 12months and my dad has 2 day insurance for the weekend so we are going to mitp yay!!! im so pleased also on how the car runs. the tracking is a mile out but for now it will do when i start to drive it i will get it done.
