The Beastie had the bonnet release done in December which cost £18 (that was with the VAT), she stayed off road through December. I turned the key every time I went to the dumpster with some rubbish to make sure she'd start which bless her little 16v heart she did. First time, every time
Have got to go to Halfords as some thieving ####### nicked two of her valve caps (n/s rear and o/s front)
Two weeks ago, I put her in for the MOT, she went down first time on two blown bulbs (number plate and N/S stop and tail) they were replaced and she went back through and passed second time around (wasn't charged for the bulbs or the retest). Got advisories for the n/s rear tyre which was expected, 10mm of damage on the windscreen (in my eyeline) and one of the front discs.
