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

McLaren have swapped everything else this year

Maybe you should offer them your turbo?

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
