MOT 2015

This year's MOT has not gone without cost and hassle 

What's missing from this picture is the injector pump which has had to go off for refurbishment as the seals were leaking and that means diesel is getting out into the engine bay which I am sure you can agree is not a good thing 

 But in doing it it was noted that the tensioner pulley for the fan belt was seized and that means a new one so that's off as well, a nice and simple job of removing the single bolt that holds it in and it wasn't even seized or anything and came off really easily

It was also noted that the bearing in the timing plate cover was rumbling and it would be a major cost and hassle if that failed and sent parts of the engine crashing into each other so that's been replaced as well 

Luckily all the other bits that were exposed during the exercise look to be in good condition and will be able to be reused along with a new set of seals and a nice new gasket to keep it all sealed and clean
