Well done Mannyo on getting another 12 months MOT ticket on the 8.
Let me know when you are in Estepona, as I live in the port most of the time . Perhaps we could meet up for a drink. By the way, I used to work for 10 years at Hall & Woodhouse in Blandford Dorset. Hope to catch up with you when you are down here. David

David,
I am down there the last 2 weeks in June and staying just to the east on the outskirts of town. Sounds like a plan to have a meeting if your about at that time. Hall and Woodhouse, well I was in the Brewery shop last Saturday and have done the Brewery tour and just in time as the old Brewery has been phased out and replaced with a modern one on the same site.

However, today's MOT (at a different test station) did not comment on this at all. The only advisories were on the rear tyre wear being close to the legal limit, which I know and will be dealing with shortly. That said, I used my new-found very local Audi independent (did my gearbox fluid recently) who take your car in and get it MOT'ed (arrangement with a local MOT station) then fix whatever is needed with no retest fees. Nothing needed fixing so it was only £43 all in, nearly 25% off the standard fee.

Advisories are very much down to the opinion of the tester for bushes and stuff, and sometimes how hard they pull the lever to check for travel

Hmmmm don't quote me but IF there is a spare in the boot it will be checked .....no spare no check if you get my drift!

As long as the tyres are the same size and type brand does not matter

Quattro wants tyres with similar tread to keep all the rolling radius's the same or similar but i'm not convinced it would make much difference to it. It can handle full lock.
