MOT pass

[chrisinflight]

Well pleased! My 20 year old 1st gen. truck passed it`s MOT this morning!
This is what I did for prep.:
Greased propshafts and ball-joints.
Wax body and jet-wash engine bay and under-carriage.
Replaced broken rear fog-lamp.
Was expecting to spend a bit more and I`m now going to treat her to some goodies from Roughtrax.
Happy Happy Happy

Open bonnet, spray some engine degreaser, keep engine running and jetwash. I`m careful with the spray-lance not to spray directly into electrical boxes, air-intake etc and I try and spray only the main engine block, rocker-cover, sills, inner-wings etc. I then drive straight away so excess water is expelled. I dont do this very often though as its probably a bad idea like jet-washing motocross bikes too much removes grease from bearings etc.
