IT Passed VIN 5462 is back on the road! - JamesRGUK - 13 May 2008
The old girl passed with flying colours, only 2 advisories.
1) o/s/f break caliper binding slightly
2) o/s/f tyre slightly crazed
Despite running a bit ruff, it flew through the emissions
CO: 1.23% vol
HC: 241 PPM
Drove back home with a big grin on my face ? and remembered what it is to own & drive a DeLorean.
Anyway so I’m going to pop of the calipers and give them a clean up, I could use a service kit if anyone knows where to get them from! I’ll try PJ Grady.
Woooooooo Hooooo

Nice work James
I reckon the last time I saw KUC was at the Room 501 filming weekend back in 2002!

Probably, one good thing is at least the insurance is cheaper than it was back then.
AON = £225 fully comp and some how I qualified for unlimited mileage too.
Just need to get my hands on a caliper service kit so I can get the brakes sorted.
