Old Ball joint was so dry and so shot, that it came apart!
When the base was removed I "poured" fine rust out of the void below the ball!.
New joint fitted, and a new test cert issued!.
The "Little 83 MG" is now tested till end of Nov Next year.
Result!.

Congratulations! Nothing feels better than a new MOT (even if the new MOT certificates look pants).

I have already been over Salisbury Plain on the main drag in it, before the test.
The car came woith short T+T , and having done only 15 miles since it's last test, I decided to get in a much "go-kart" fun as I could before the test to "loosen things up".
Suffice to say the car has settled it'self back into regular use!.
And I am now looking at quotes to sort out the external finish.
