I doubt if the Mclaren pit team could swap this turbo any quicker than me now, I've had the bleeding thing on and off that often :roll:

My mot ran out the day after the Retrorides gathering and the car has sat in the garage ever since.... today was the first chance I've had to take it for a mot..... passed with no advisories..... not bad for a 30 year old car.
I did have to remind them that the emissions don't get tested, luckily I printed off the proof from the forum before I went for the test.
So happy days....

Many thanks, mine past the test on its last MOT in Aug, I explained to the examiner that it did not require one but He was not "aving it".
I did not pursue the matter as it passed with no advisories as well & I take my other cars there as well.

he'll have no choice if you show him that... it's a page out of the VOSA test book
