Two cars due for MOT this month, so spent the day ferrying Vauxhalls back and forth from the test station.
Astra passed with flying colours
Vectra failed, steering tie rods excessive play both sides
(I thought Vauxhall built them that way anyway!)
Two repair kits on order, £16+vat each, so not too bad. Also got an advisory for light corrosion on the rear brake pipes, so that'll be me getting under the back of the car and doing a Scott with the Hammerite and paint brush.
So now we only have one road legal Vauxhall in the fleet
