This is getting nearly as predictable as Sarah‘s beer tales from last year. There’ll be a post on a different subject soon, I promise.
My orkut fortune for today told me I was going to be “fortunate in everything”. Which was good news, as today the car went for its “find out what’s wrong” MOT. It turns out that Orkut has spooky powers of premonition – it failed, but only on fairly trivial stuff; broken indicator cover, non-working brake light, blowing exhaust, etc. No mention of dodgy brakes (other than the scraping noise that’s been happening for ages and apparently isn’t worn down pads) or bearings or anything.
So, as predicted yesterday, I’m going to force it through the MOT one more time. And I’ll be getting it along to a garage to check out that noise coming from the wheel, because I still think there’s something up with one of the bearings, but we’ll see about that one when we get to it.
All in all, not so bad after all. Thank orkut for that 🙂
