A new bike may have to wait a while, or MX5 MoT time.

    MoT day for the MX5 today.
    Failed on handbrake - expected
    Requires new rear discs - not expected
    New pads - expected
    New cable - not expected

    Failed on emissions - certainly not expected.
    After checking with me and confirming that it had a nice clean air
    filter (K&N fitted last September), good plugs (NGK EVX fitted two years
    ago) and reasonably fresh Mobil in the sump and a good filter (Mazda OEM
    fitted four months ago), they reckon it will be the cat and/or the O2
    sensor.

    Advisories on rear sill corrosion (as last year) and slightly corroded
    rear brake lines (as last year).

    So the new roof I keep promising it will have to wait, again.

    Fingers crossed that Pointe de Corde can fix the Voxan for less than
    four figures.
