Well for the last few weeks I've been working on the astra for the impending mot. Today was judgement day,  and my worries were soon dispatched. 

We rolled inattentive 10:15am, and after a good going over by the tester @ Banham Vehicle Services. We rolled away with a pass certificate, and no advisories. 

That has to be a first for me, as I can't remember ever having a clear ticket like today. There's always been a "keep an eye on" something,  normally brake pipes.  

Oh I'm a happy bunny. Astra getting treated at the weekend to a good service, and that gear oil change. 😁😁.

And a celebratory beer tonight too. 👍👍

Great news Andy!  

That's just the result you need.....all that work on the Astra paid off then.

Enjoy the beer 🙂

 

Hi Trevor,  yes the beer went down well. I was going to do the oil change today, but its now raining, so plan B. I so wish I had a garage to work in this time of year.  

Hope you and family are staying safe.  

Regards Andy.

All good here thanks Andy...although I share your sentiment about working outside in the rain

I suppose it could be a celebratory beer for you a celebratory oil change for the Astra then 🙂

 

Glad to hear you're all good. Yes I'm sure the car will enjoy the fresh oil in her engine and gearbox.  I'll get some pictures when I do the gearbox, and you'll be able to see its colour. Even the mot tester said that it should be Dextron and cherry coloured.🙄

Well I had planned to do the oil changes today, but I have somehow hurt my back. So no crawling about under the car for me for a few days. And it was such an ideal day weather wise too.😟

Never mind, I'll get it done during the week when I am feeling better. Needs doing soon though, especially the gearbox.

Some people come up with all excuses 🙂 
Seriously, hope your back gets better soon and that we have a few more nice days this month.

 

Thanks, it seems to be easing. I do suffer with back problems quite often, due to an industrial injury a few years ago. But yes some nice days would be good. Hoping to get on this weekend.  

I see extra pain killers in my future. 

😁😁

How did you get on with the oil change and hope the back is better now.

At least you have swapped the rain for the cold 🙂

Not done yet, unfortunately still having mobility problems.  And it's been quite wet here too. Must get it done though, for the cars benefit.  Will keep you posted.
