Van MOT

[DavieK]

As above took the van for mot today and failed on one trackrod end and the brake load sensor valve spring had broke ... no bad for an 11 year old van at 92k. Trackrods are still the originals so ordered two for £20 but the spring on the load sensor cannot be bought seperately only as part of the full valve at £140...unbelieveable :( Actually think its been broken for a wee while. So a wee trip to the breakers required tomorrow as one from any astra G non-abs will do . Still at least I know why my front brakes kept locking up easily :)
