Another year's MOT :)
 

I've just returned from the MOT test.....

Pleased to report that the S8 passed with flying colours, and no advisories :)

Hopefully another years motoring sorted ....

Shame is, that if my plans to leave the UK come to fruition, I'll have to part with her :(
(and my old Rover P5B Coupe, and the Harley too)


We'll see....

Good to hear - the MoT part that is!

Good news for the 8.

My Grandad left me with a few words of advice and sayings over the years before he died, some i'll never forget and one quite fitting to this "Cu" oh hang on that will be censored, "woman can draw a man further than dynamite shall blow him"

All the best in whatever you do +++

And in a tag team dual header of MoT wonderment I also passed my MoT today, 1 advisory on a CV gaiter that is beginning to look a bit second hand but is still functioning as intended (which I will keep my peepers on) other than that the various gubbins, coggins and doohickies are all functioning as Audi intended. A good day for PF's all round.

Make that a triple header of PF's being MOT'd!

I haven't been as fortunate though, two rear callipers renewed and I've heard nothing since then so I'm hoping there isn't any further bad news. I'm having the immobiliser wire renewed after having repeated issues with it recently and they're doing a full service so hopefully it'll be back on the drive in the very near future.

I've also got it booked in for a gearbox health check with someone I was recommended to try after my scare a few weeks ago. I had a twenty minute conversation with the guy when I got back from holiday and heard enough to convince me he knows his stuff. I'll let you all know how it goes, hopefully very well! +++

Thanks gents....

Well done to the other PF's that passed, and all those being maintained :)


Dezzy mate, your observations never fail to make me grin - quite profound

Another PF passed MOT today, no advisories for the first time.

My FL passed today also with no advisories! Woohoo! :yippee:

Mines in today for MOT and leaking output shaft seals. Fingers crossed. :rockin:

It's in my local(ish) garage and they had another A8 in there - a 200,000 mile D3 4.2 petrol having its upper arms replaced.

If the shaft seals involve major "removals" or gearbox leakage/draining I'm going to have the filter and fluid done too rather than try to hunt down a suckyslurpything at a later date!

MOT passed, only advisories were for the (known) oil leaks. Not too bad for a 10 year old car probably built 11 years ago.

However, they're somewhat worse than hoped being 2 out of 3 (O/S and rear) output shafts AND the pan seal so bits of exhaust etc. have to be moved anyway. So I'm biting the financial bullet and getting the fluid and filter changed at the same time - just the simple drain & refill method without suckyslurpy processes. :rolleyes:
