Getting close to the MOT (Besiktning)

We have had a couple of beautiful sunny days, a sign of impending Spring. Complete blue skies and the almost forgotten warmth of the sun, it's my favourite time of the year. I was out last Sunday for the first drive of the year and the first drive since I took it off the road in October. A friend helped me with bleeding the brakes, putting in the passenger carpet and seat back in place and then it was time for a spin. "Oh what a feelin' " Temperature was around 0 degrees but very much bearable. 

Realised a few things needed fixing before the MOT. Steering wheel was not centred so indicator was not cancelling correctly. Brakes needed an extra bleed so Fredrik and I did that during the week. Windscreen wiper motor and spindles were in place but forgot the blades! 

During the week there was snow and chill that froze it to ice. No chance in driving so fixed the problems yesterday. But wasn't bad enough to stop me taking a drive to Rosenhill.

Took her for a car wash, always looks great afterwards.

Something was wrong though as no fuel gauge, rev counter, windscreen wipers were behaving eratically and no reversing light. Turned out that I had blown a fuse while putting on the wiper blades; they got stuck while testing them. Quick change of fuse and all was back working again.

Also put the winter tyres on as it was zero. Had a great coffee and sandwich at Rosenhill but no motorbikes, cylists or other enthusiast cars there yet. Another month or so perhaps.

Now it's all ready for the MOT, hopefully in the next couple of weeks and hopefully there won't be any problems.
