Yeah well done Steven... Had my MOT today as well and was half expecting to fail on something. Other than a couple of advisories it sailed through... It sailed through last year as well (hence sort of expecting something to go wrong this year). As Brett says it appears these cars rarely fail...

Got aircon re-gassed and works absolutely fine. Didn't get to change pollen filter but will do so soon... PS - breezed through the MOT....woohooo....

Ok. Not sure when pollen filter last changed - will check service history. Will let you know tomorrow after re-gas if this has cured the problem.

Hi Brett I had the air con running and used a temperature probe to measure the airflow temp. This was inserted into each of the two central vents. On the drivers side (RH central and driver side vent) the air was ambient temp - around 17/18 deg C. On the passenger side (LH central vent &...

It appears that my aircon is working passenger side only. Are there two seperate systems considering that you have the 'dual' option for heating/cooling? Or could there be some other problem?

I'll try and take some pics to show you. I don't know the machine the alignment was made - it was at the Formula 1 Autocentre workshop (in Portsmouth). Also, the car hasn't been specifically lowered as far as i'm aware of.

A few months back I had a set of new tyres fitted by Formula 1 Autocentres, they also did a full wheel alignment. A few weeks after having my tyres replaced I noticed that the rear of the car was tilting/sagging (about 1" to 1.5") towards the drivers side. Subsequently I had the rear o/s springs...

A quick update: took out the bulb and refitted it - appears to have corrected the alignment issue so it could be that when I installed the bulb in the dark it didn't seat properly. Ok for the interim, however at some point I will go ahead and get the whole unit replaced.

Thanks Trev & Jason for the advice - looks like a replacement unit then! How easy are these to replace?

My O/S dipped headlamp appeared to have dimmed and I replaced the bulb - closer inspection when changing the bulb showed the domed lens has a crack straight through it. After installing the new bulb it's still dim but if you look at the headlight from a different angle it appears brighter so it...

Says the same on mine too - i'd thought graphite pearl is more akin to grey than silver!

A few months ago I ended up driving solely within town for around 5 weeks. Managed to get 400 miles before fuel warning light came on.
