09th July 2014.The buggy was now starting easily the RTX starter and the new coil certainly made the buggy become a pleasure to drive. My MOT was booked in at my local BMW garage although I always fret about MOT failure . I do believe it is a positive thing for your car as it does always find things which have become loose or have failed. This year was no exception. The test day arrived and a failure notice of the rear offside wheel had excessive play and my wash wipe failed. Now most VW enthusiasts will be aware of the checks needed on wheel hub nuts as they need to be checked to ensure the bearings are tight. I was pleased this had been found as I had missed it. My Wash Wipe on the other hand was strange as it had been functioning as i drove up to the test center. When I eventually got this apart I found that the switch had failed . This was a straight forward repair. Whilst I was looking at this I had a good look at my wipers . I renewed the blades with Citroen 9" blades. I noted that one arm was not pulling the blade onto the wind screen. I bought a new arm for this but it was not the same as had been fitted . I removed the spring from the new arm and replaced it in my old arm. This cured the problems.
