There are so few Elgrands about that the participants would know that they were your keys. That could work for or against you, depending on how ugly/handsome you are.

A solution would be to attend a “swing” (is that what they call them?) made up entirely of Elgrand owners. Wish I hadn’t written that now, have scarred myself for life thinking about that.

There's one in Wales every year 🤣🤣
 
Temporary traffic lights... It seems it's always 50/50 whether they'll be working or be on default red at both/all sides. It's about time they were updated to work properly. Firms that use them should be held accountable for traffic problems when they don't work properly, this would ensure they use equipment that is up to the job (upgrading when necessary) and set them up to work properly with correct delay between changing states.

And the times I've emailed them with dates/locations/times/reg plates of 'operatives' 'driving' with mobile phones (or other hand held devices like a tablet) in their hand.

I hate the imprecision or vagueness of MOT certificates.
At least to the non- mechanical minded...

"Suspension arm bush or pin worn but not deteriorated to cause excessive movement"

Is it the bush OR the pin then? One or both part? To my mind, you should be able to replace either independently not as a single part.
A pin holds something in place. A bush absorbs impact/isolates vibration.

Then again, the same tester has just stated the rear indicators are discoloured and worn ....er.....it has clear indicators at the rear, and I can see the orange bulbs working just tickety boo inside ....

At l ineast with another car I'm looking at it explicitly states all the tyres are worn and a rear brake pad is thin. Feels like much more of a known quantity.

It'll probably say bush or pin because the tester found a bit of play between the two (not excessive that would be a fail) but it would be difficult to know without dismantling which of the two (or both) is at fault... and during the MOT they wouldn't dismantle to find out which.

I do agree though that they're often vague when they could be more detailed. Sometimes they might say something like offside front lower suspension arm bush but not say which of the 2 bushes on that arm.

Not that manufacturer.
The last time I can recall any sort of memorable advert for this manufacturer, it involved a car being driven down a sugarcane field that was being set on fire/napalm bombed to within an inch of its life.
Looking at AdBlue system removals now....can't believe I swerved a smokers Volvo for this ...đź«Ł
