5th year MOT and Service today......Straight through without any advisory info.

Don't you just love the Freelander?

Yeah...mine too last week! 0.95 pass on the smoke test on first run.

Mind you, mine has only done 30k...but still, it gives you a happy feeling. John

Ha yes and no! Mine passed no problems last week but the power steering is still fooked!

Smoke was 0.47 (whatever that means!!!)

The new test certificate is just a bit of plain paper now, well, with writing on obviously!

I have just looked at my MOT smoke test pass sheet again and see it is not like before. The engine was only revved once and got 0.95 on "fast pass". What is that all about? John

Don't know what the smoke test involves but the "clean sheet of paper" reflects the fact that the actual certificate no longer has legal standing. It's the record on the Department's computer that counts nowadays - the fuzz can access it on line on their whizzbang hardware, as can insurance companies and probably Uncle Tom Cobley's market research team

Maybe sometime they'll get around to issuing reminders like they do with the tax - I've forgotten to renew my MOT on more than one occasion, fortunately with no adverse effects Better value for money if you leave it a few months over........ Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne

Great news Wizking. How many miles has your FL got on? 59 TD4e XS in galway green

Hi Annie, it's got 51,100.

It looks nice. Had a browse in your gallery I tried to upload some pics into mine earlier but it said that they were too big 59 TD4e XS in galway green

If you go on the VOSA site you can set up an MOT reminder, also see all MOT certs (new typr).

Thanks Annie.
It would be good to see some pics of yours too, it's so rare to see that colour.

Sounds a little rude
