Well the car passed, it failed on headlights and a track rod end. The headlights were working when I dropped it off and it turned out to be only a loose connector under the dash, track rod replaced but could possibly be the steering rack inducing play and if it comes to it will replace the subframe bushes front and back just because!

Also before the mot, as it was an advisory last year, I had the rear radius arms replaced along with the brake cylinders, shoes and wheel bearings while they were apart. I also had the car tuned before it went, as it was running like a dog, almost feels like this is the best place the car has been for a long while and there are still more bits to-do, small bits hopefully!

Well there were 3 of us in nottingham, though the red/orange one is now sold. JVR is about though.

I did have a lengthy chat with a car guy around the corner from me, when I say car guy:

That's a bit like my drive :oops: although those cars look to be alongside several properties?

Its a private access road to the backs of two rows of houses, only it seems that side of the row dont have access / are all fenced up. The guys actual driveway can be seen just to the right where he has another nissan and his daily driver.

Most of them have stickers saying 'smile you're on CCTV' and another note along the lines of 'heavy fines for affixing notices' or something equal to that.
