    Mot On The Horizon

    Hi all, I've got my MOT booked for April 23rd - the first one for three years on the 205! The last MOT had one advisiory along the lines of 'rear brake plates corroded' (I'm not sure what this means) and that was it. Given that the car hasn't really been anywhere since that MOT and I've been busy doing lots of stuff (making sure all the lights work, sorting idle issue, general cleaning and making sure she's running smooth and servicing) is there anything else I need to be checking before presenting her for MOT please? I'm planning to have a good few days on her over the long weekend to focus speifically on MOT prep' - my provisional list is as follows: - 1. play in track rod ends/ball joints (not sure how much is acceptable though) 2. any evidence of leaking brake fluid - the level never changes though so I think these are ok 3. any corrosion on the exhaust system 4. all seatbelts are working 5. I've got enough meat on the front brake pads (I know the discs are good) 6. any evidence of gaitors splitting/leaking 7. a run through of the Haynes manual MOT checklist The test station have already been advised I want/need four new tyres and that they need to set the idle mixture/C0 up before/whilst testing - is there anything else I need to check please? Cheers Ian.
