The XM goes in for MOT tomorrow morning...

The tension is killing me, honestly I'm a pile of trembling jelly and not feeling at all well :(

I hate MOT time :evil:

Best of luck Jim!
I totally understand how you feel. It is horrid MOT time, i'm a nervous wreck. Can't relax at all.

I'm sure it will be fine.

It did Mark :D :D :D :D :D It was all the good wishes on here that did it. Plus the MOT tester used to have an XM...

And with nice comments from the tester too :-D

Just a couple of advisories. Marginal handbrake and a slight exhaust blow..

I'm so relieved :roll: :)

so we just need batten down the hatches and see the way through the dark months! :lol:

Last MOT I had on an XM, the Cobalt one, I had been admitted into Hosp. and I couldn't even get out of bed or use my legs. Mrs Dm took it early next morning and sent me a text to say it had passed.


Talk about getting your priorities right. :lol: Then it all went a bit Pete Tong, she went home instead of coming to see me... :?
