Taxed and tested, the car's back on the road tonight. A couple of things to worry about, wheel bearings and CV joints making a bit of noise. But otherwise, a clean bill of health once more. And despite the farting noise of the exhaust, it passed with a cautionary note Will have to get the Craig-miester to sort it on my next long trip home
Took the opportunity to get the cam belt replaced, having no idea when it was last done. And, yes, I know those of you reading this with an inclining of what that means, will be screaming at me as to why it's taken that long, and do I understand what would've happened if it had broken. It's done, and I've added it to the service history. Least then I can make sure it's done at the correct intervals from now on
