The 8 was dropped back at work this evening by the garage. The service was completed along with the full inspection which has highlighted a number of issues most of which will be sorted next week. The car now has new oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs.
Following the inspection, the following have been noted.
The following are being replaced next week.
OSF track rod end has movement (advise replacement)
NSF track rod end has slight movement
NSF outer cv boot split
The following will need attention before the MOT but I have no idea what they are referring to.
Centre exhaust sleeves are rotten.
ALSO noted:
Front pads 20% worn, Rear pads 10% worn.
Rear discs slightly pitted
Front tyres 5mm, rear tyres 6mm.
Rear road springs and rollbar showing signs of corrosion.
Looks like the old girl is slowly rotting away. I suspect she will be sold once the 12 month MOT is put on next month and the annual holiday to spain has passed.
