TorquayFan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Yes it can M8. No problem. If your car is driveable, it should be OK GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I noticed last year when it went for test, its only a Banger, Ford Focus but it gets us around OK after a few tweaks by me, got it up to UK MOT standard.

TorquayFan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 There's many centres - pop in, ask the question and I'm sure you can go in early, maybe more than a week. Check all the bulbs and the brakes then you should sail through. My local place blacks up the faded number plates too. A Focus - nice ! In my town, after you have the 'MOT', there's a drive through service for the 'road tax'. GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GL I go to a little place on the main drag, the Mrs books it in I just wait and pay the Insurance/test fee, the good thing about it was I took some tools with me and adjusted the headlights, they had no clue until I showed them on the aiming machine. I had Saabs for 25 years prior to this Ford, now they were the best thing on 4 wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorquayFan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hi. Saab! xxxxxxxx More than 50 years ago I had two old Saab 96 (?), the 3 cylinder 2-stroke, one with a good body and one with a good engine. I did the swap of engines before 10.00am - so easy. Those were the days!! Take the Focus in yourself, give the missis a break and take it to the tax centre. Why do these ladies think we can't do anything for ourselves. ATB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB I had 9000's, 93 mk1 and 2, and loads of 95's, used to buy, sell and tune them all, flying machines lol. I'm sure the place I use does it all, just go back a few days later for all the Docs. about 6k baht if l remember rightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
