MOT passed today. The mechanic explained how they fail vehicles on brake pads because they can't see them properly !! The steering column is better, even if the actual at £100 ish was rather more than the 10p circlip that I could have got away with, but I've sorted out one or two problems not spotted at the MOT. The brake pads are new and ougth to last as long as I have the tardis for, even if the old ones had 30% life left in them. The little white lights at the front are all present and correct, even though they serve no useful purpose.
