Pre-MOT check up

It was time to get the Corsair to a garage for a pre-MOT check up to see how much more was needed to be done. Driving the old car over to Hilltop Motors, Shaftesbury at 7am was a bit stressful as it was back firing, running rough and the first time I had driven it any distance for over 13 years. I never got fast enough to get beyond third gear but the car felt good with the steering what with the new tie-rod ends and steering idler.

First impressions from Martyn weren’t too bad, a few minor faults like rear brakes were a bit sticky, the full beam light switch was faulty and water leak from the lower cooling hose from a corroded clip. But the main issues were the front anti roll bar mounts which were close to some corrosion on the front cross member. The Corsair will be at the garage for a few days with the hope that it comes away with a MOT.
