It's that time again an MOT for Christine

[Porcine_Aviator]

Bloody hell PA, have you had the DIM fixed yet? If so, anybody with dice/vida can sort the abs and engine management warnings. The handbrake can be adjusted in the cabin in 5 minutes with a 10mm spanner. Front roll bar linkage, ball Joint and steering linkage can be sourced pretty cheaply rear anti roll bar may be pricey to have fitted. If someone local is any good at fitting powerflex bushes, you can sort the front wishbones for less than the price of a new one and it'll never fail again.
Brake hoses can be done pretty cheaply too.
It's not as bad as it looks mate.

We sent the DIM off to the guy off eBay - Lukaz - and he said he could find nothing wrong with it he did solder up a couple of pins but he said that there was nothing he could find, and he didn't charge me for his time. He thinks it could be the CPU and would like to see a print out from the code reader to check through it.

Mrs PA left it at the garage so they can get a quote for us.

She went on the Direct Gov website and we now have details of every MOT Christine has ever had including what she failed on.

It'll be the motorolla chip mate, with one or two legs dry-jointed. It's all it takes to send them loopy.
You're probably not gonna be able to clear the abs warning without getting rid of the initial cause.
Good luck with it mate, keep us posted.

Will do.

The latest news is the cost for all the work is £550 which includes a high speed tyre.

For what needs doing, that's pretty good mate. Especially if they can get rid of the abs and engine lights.

To be honest I thought that as well. They are really good and they have looked after both Christine and the motorcaravan without charging a fortune for either.

For anyone in the area who need any work doing these are the people, have a look at what some of the people have said in the feedback even if the last comment was almost a year ago http://www.westonmotcentre.co.uk/

She's home after having the new tyre and the tracking done to finish and a new MOT. One small thing is she now has a rattle when you turn left.

So she's going back in to sort it out.

Just worked it out Christine has cost us roughly £900 so far this year not including fuel.
