7th Birthday & M.O.T. Test

My car sailed through it's 4th MOT today.

No dodgy suspension despite fast approaching 93K miles mostly on the Army testing grounds that pass for roads in Gloucestershire plus a few trackdays.

1 coolant tank [:(]
1 headlamp bulb (well 2 as I changed them both for the blue jobbies)
2 tail light bulbs!
1 set of heat shield fasteners
1 RMS and rusty wheel bolts under warranty ( it was so long ago I'm surprised I can still spell it)
High tone horn failed twice

Changed the OEM discs for a set of Porscheshop drilled discs and Green EBC pads all round 4 years ago.

Oh and a lot of tyres including a new set today!

Everything else came with it.

EBC Greens - You need a bit more effort on the road but great on the track.

(And they seem to last for ever!) [:)]

Conscious of a few bricks in the corner of the garage I checked my files and I did indeed have a set of front pads fitted between the OEM and the Greens.

So that's 2.5 sets in 7 years. [sm=kiss.gif]

[:D]...so u didn't mention the windscreen wipers or the front pads...is there also an engine replacement that might have been left out of that list?....I'm beginning to think you've bought yourself a lemon there John[:D]

Seriously though, that goes to show, with a bit of mechanical sympathy when you drive, the Boxster can be an incredibly reliable car that can be run on a shoestring.
Well done!
