Well, failed my MoT, again!!
No surprises there..........so, started going through the small list with the ever present maestro in attendance ( plus equipment)....
Yesterday and today was front wheel bearing day......both wheels.....
Once shown, seems logical enough to do.....until I start to drive and the front end collapses......lol
Thanks to Ian and Robert ( hydraulic press) for the help.....

I have a hole in the gearbox mount, which I will have to replace before MoT.
Was going to leave it until subframe change but plan is to do it first.
And, replace the front exhaust down pipe and a little bit of welding......

Need a hand mate? I really need to get started on something to get me the impetus to get the silver TF through an MOT so I can run it over the winter!!

I'm round at Mitch's today, doing rear caliper and alternator tighten up........that will be me for this weekend... The next step I think will be the gearbox mount so, will start to prepare for it by removing all top gubbings....
The exhaust, I'm not sure about it...I have a theory on why the station never got a reading....being a TT Mk 7...vortexes come to mind....
Anyway...thanks for the offer....
Dont forget....apart from my motor......Mitch's plans for me on his 'fleet' ....can help out with yours if required......

Second-hand, working rear caliper refurbed and on the motor.......bit of grinding but alls well...may need a bleed..
Alternator belt tightened.......couldn't remember how I did it the last time so....expert in........tighten up.....expert out........
Stripped out all the loose gubbings in the engine bay ready for a gearbox mount change (having just picked up shotblasted and powdercoated replacement......
Will have to try next week for this..........
Keep you all posted!!!!!

PASS!!!!
And no advisories.........
There is a caveat though, which I won't put on here but will discuss tomorrow night.....
Can I say that without 'le Maestro'....MitchMG, I wouldn't have been able to get to this deadline.......thanks again.....
