well there wont be any MOT for 2 weeks or so. turns out, the problem with aligning the headlights is two fold. firstly, my relatively new HID kit has a busted locator tab on the drivers side, probably happened during fitting, and google and ebay dont even through up the kits, so the chances of a replacement bulb are none. and on top of that, even tho the passenger bulb is fine, the headlight wont align, it just wont pull up. the suspicion is that the adjuster in the top corner is rung or just fucked and is basically just turning in position, making no difference to the headlight at all. and there simply isnt time to sort any of that before MOT, looks like im heading back to uprated normal bulbs because the HID is just flopping about like a carp on the floor. fantastic. money well spent there. on a positive note, Alan has welded up the hole in the exhaust, making her noticeably quieter even tho the hole wasn't that big lol. so, at least thats something. but in a week we've had a hole in the exhaust, busted adjusters, busted HID bulb, leaking brakes, busted spark lead, leaky raditator plug that still appears to be weeping and a busted locking wheel nut socket. so yeah, anyone wana buy the most annoying EP of all time?? because my patience is really wearing thin. its supposed to be almost finished, doing nothing but ticking over and oil changes, and yet, its not even fit to pass an MOT. fucking. outstanding.
