You all certainly know the experience that things get a little worse every day but for a long period of time you don't notice the change so much when you deal with it during a long time on aa regular base.
E.g. the needle of a pickup system, an electron tube, a clean window glass... or if you look into the mirror every day... But suddenly a point is reached when the impulse is there that you have to change something.
It was similar with the MOT today. The Mog did not pass. First I was a little upset, but then I realized it. I tried the steering and actually it is so that there are very clear peaks where the steering is really very heavy. I hadn't noticed it before. But it's definitely not as smooth as it used to be. Now the point was reached as with the dirty window glass when you think you must clean it.
Seen that way I am grateful to the MOT. I will have let a detailed analysis of all UJs and all the other parts mentioned done next week. What is necessary will be swapped. Safety first. After that the car will be demonstrated and checked again.
I think that hardly any car has to withstand so many vibrations and shocks as a Trad. Mog. That's why I'm really not annoying. I have an understanding. The car has 76,000 km in five years. It has deserved new components if they serve safety.
