not too bad at all. passenger belt a bit sticky, new offside front wheel bearing, rear drum needs looking at. bake pipe needs a zip tie up front, and fuel like a zip tie underneath.

the coolant leak was a loose clip that i fixed before i left. Not to bad for a 10 year anniversary since the last mot. a credit to Paddy and Jo at the Fiesta Farm.

Tester was incredibly thorough by the way. Never been through such a tough mot. I think it it was to do with me lingering around wincing at everything he did.

It’s an RS accessory one, genuine mk1 part and much rarer than the Austrian one
