Re: 1979 Bleu Azurite Dyane Ok so I had my accident on Sept 5th 2009 ( http://ORIFLeftLef.blogspot.com ) and haven't been able to drive since. The dyane has been started about once a month and drained of the copious amounts of water that build up inside her! Went to the Drs today who said I can start to put weight on my foot which in my mind meant you can start to drive! Started the car, ran her for a bit, checked the oil (not too low at all), topped her up, filled her with petrol and took her for a short (fifteen minute) drive and boy have I missed driving her! Apart from one allmighty (what sounded like a ) backfire, she drove like a dream. The nearside suspension cylinder creaked twice but once I'd gone over some bumps all seemed fine. Ah the joys of motoring

Re: 1979 Bleu Azurite Dyane Linky no worky, mate. Quote: Went to the Drs today who said I can start to put weight on my foot which in my mind meant you can start to drive! Result! Just don't be too hasty and risk long-term damage...

Re: 1979 Bleu Azurite Dyane whoops http://orifleftleg.blogspot.com (as in open reduction internal fixation to the left leg) Yeah the pain reminds me that I shouldn't be doing too much. Not helped by the fact my house (which I've not lived in since the accident) is freezing. It's Victorian so it'll probably take a couple of days to warm it back up.

Re: 1979 Bleu Azurite Dyane Bloody Direct.Gov is giving me a heartattack. Alex's Jazz was stupidly overdue on the MOT because she forgot about it so I thought I'd check on the Dyane and the website says... Quote: Date of test: 15/06/2009
Certificate issue refused (Fail)
Odometer reading: 6,332 Miles
Test number: 921356269113
Test station name: CASTLETON GARAGE DERBYSHIRE LTD
Test station number: 40132
Test station telephone number: 01433620313
Test class: IV
Reason(s) for refusal to issue Certificate
Nearside Rear Direction indicator incorrect colour (1.5.A1d)
Offside Rear Direction indicator incorrect colour (1.5.A1d)
Nearside Steering pivot point has excessive play (2.2.B.1g)
Offside Steering pivot point has excessive play (2.2.B.1g)
Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.D.1)
Nearside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.1.B.6)
Offside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (5.1.B.6)
No Advisory Notice issued
This completes the test history for the above vehicle as recorded on VOSA's MOT Computerisation Database Now I know Jono put 12months on it before I got it but until I can find the pass sheet I daren't take her out again

Re: 1979 Bleu Azurite Dyane I didn't know you could get MOT details online. That's interesting. Anyway, it was successfully MOTd on around the 25th (ish) of June. You must have the MOT cert, because you must have taxed it since you got it (though if you did it online you wouldn't have needed the MOT cert, but I wouldn't have thought it would have let you tax it without MOT).

Re: 1979 Bleu Azurite Dyane Yeah I know it was done, its me loosing track of the bloody sheet  Just if I get stopped I don't fancy being fined for not being able to produce an MOT... Hmm I'll continue digging.

Re: 1979 Bleu Azurite Dyane The MOT history online should show ALL computerised tests, though...

Re: 1979 Bleu Azurite Dyane unless for some reason the garage never got round to lodging a pass certificate or the system was down at the time. I've sent an e-mail request to work to get them to e-mail me back a copy of the certificate if I remembered to send them a copy.

If the system was down, and they forgot to book it when it came back up, then - yup - but that's then also going to show as having no current ticket for tax & Mr Plod.
