MOT day

Dropped the Disco off for its MOT, first since I took ownership.
I've covered 14,000 miles in a year, wonder what,it would have been without lockdown.

Fingers crossed for a good result

Most Mot stations should now have roller testers that can safely test a 4x4. Tapley meters are a bit old hat now!

When I asked my MOT bloke if he would guarantee that no damage would be done to the 4WD system, he went and retrieved the wooden box that the meter lives in and has used it every time I go in for an MOT since Laughing Saya he uses it on every LR thats been in since
