From August 1st 2020, your MOT will no longer be extended. So if your MOT is coming up, make sure to get it booked in ahead of time. Your MOT can be done up to a month (minus a day) before the expiry date whilst still preserving that date.

If you are starting to use your car after it has been idle for the past few weeks, make sure to carry out some simple checks to your tyres and lights. You may also find your brakes are a bit noisy due to surface rust. Carry out light braking and this should clear up in a couple of miles.

If your MOT expires after March 30th, it will automatically be given an extra 6 months. This also applies to brand new vehicles that have not had their first MOT. Full details are on the government website.

Your car, van or motorcycle’s MOT expiry date will be extended by 6 months if it’s due on or after 30 March 2020 - but you must keep your vehicle safe to drive.

The original rear subframe was corroded and would have failed its next MOT. A nice new original subframe will give it another lease of life.

All cleaned and ready to go back together. Just becuase the car was over 20 years old, doesn't always mean it isn't worth repairing.

Water and electrics don't mix. At least not without causing problems.

The cabin filter can be overlooked as a minor item, but which one would you rather breathe through?
