WOO HOO...

As you can tell, i'm quite happy.

Drove down for my retest today, 90 miles without a glitch.

Was an hour early for the test, so hung about for a bit then got cracking. It was a different guy this time. He was very chatty and friendly and seemed interested in kit cars, which was nice.

To cut a long story short - Checked off all the bits off the fail sheet, tweaked the emissions slightly on the laptop and got a pass.

Unfourtunately, when doing the emissions test, the engine got pretty hot and spat out all it's coolant. So i topped it up and hoped for the best. A few miles down the road on the way home happened again! Luckily i was close to a roadside burger van with a very friendly bunch of people who gave me a nice big tub of water to get me on my way.

Topped it up again, and noticed it was dripping from one of the hoses. Nipped up the hose clip and hey presto job done.

I tried Beverley DVLA, and they said i had to go to my local office. Took it to the local one and they said, she only does them fridays and is probably fully booked tomorow. Ah well, nearly there.

Oh, for some reason, my sat nav must have been as happy as me, as it took me back the moor road way...


Plenty of spares just incase...
