Car went for its annual service down in Edinburgh today and its due its first ever MOT next month. I could not do it at Murrays as my 6 month old Mintex 1144 inner brake pads were shot. I did not expect them to be so low given I only put them on in January. So no MOT done today. I need to order some in and fit myself next week.

Where in Aberdeenshire would you recommend getting an Elise MOT'd?

Seems I also hit a bird at some point as my kidney grill at the front was all bent in towards the oil cooler with feathers everywhere = ooops

I've been using Jim King for the last 10 years out in lethenty out in Inverurie.

http://www.jimkingautotune.co.uk

He's worked on all of my cars including a bike engined kit car plus he was involved/ worked for lotus years ago. I've had him working on my Elise for the couple of years I've owned it.

As above, I've been using Jim to MOT all our cars for the last 6-7 years :thumbsup Hopefully I'll get the Elise in for its MOT the next I'm home.

James,
Take it to Andy at Michaelmuir Garage in Ythanbank - they're good, old school and very thorough. It's where I take mine.

Phil.

Generally use Castle Park Garage in Ellon for the Elise (last 3 years), small country garage, honest and friendly, no issues.
Cheers

this is also good to know as I've used them for a few other family car topics but not my Elise
