I have a major service approaching which I’d like to get done within a month, 3 months before the anniversary of MOT.
Am thinking of having the MOT done at the same time , which saves visits to the garage and takes advantage of a “Service with MOT” deal.
I keep reading that you can only have an MOT done a month early. That’s indeed true if you are keen to preserve the existing anniversary date-but I’m not.
Another option is to wait a further 3 months - couple of thousand miles down the line at max-then get service and MOT done together in late Feb.
What’s best?

Very helpful replies-thanks. I think I’ll have the service and the MOT done in Feb.
That is if I’m not persuaded to trade in the car without the service or the MOT by 28/2-but that’s another story!

Anyone know if these forks can be (reversibly) stripped further?

Love 'em.
With so many cars are now having options to drive autonomously on motorways, I wonder whether it will make sense to provide an indicator light (like brake light) to make following vehicle aware that it is being driven without active driver input.
When using adaptive cruise control in motorways, I have observed some following drivers get impatient when the car slowly speeds up - they can't wait and overtakes to fill the space between my car and the car I was following. Then my car slows down further to keep the gap - until next impatient driver fills the gap again.... Read more
Platooning is how it is referred to.
The dual mass has been playing up, seems to be running ok at the moment but has made the usual noises of a bad one recently. The thing is I need to try and MOT it this week and cant get it into a garage for repair until a while after.
So the question is - will the high revs that are done for the emissions test risk disturbing the flywheel? Many thanks. Read more

Hi all, I have a 15 plate Peugeot 308sw 1.6 blue hdi. Been a good car, loved driving it, but it's done 110k miles now and thinking its time to look for something different.
Hoping people on here can recommend something reliable for around the 13k mark. Looked at Astra's and Kadjar's but not sure about reliability on them. Will be a family car (2 kids) with a reasonable boot. ... Read more
