no mot's today ,til when?????????????

[henri]

went for a mot today ,to discover that vosa introduced a new computer system at 9 this morn , it promptly crashed n burned at 9.05 , lasting a whole 3 minutes longer than last time . so no mot possible an mot-er reckons last time took a week to fix ,ya got to love this 21st century online life were living .last time something like this happened to me was 1st pen mot-er picked up was out of ink,time to fix ,bout 20seconds ,H

[ET]

I understand parchment and quill

[rab]

they have another 6 months till mine runs out they can take as long as they like hahahahhahahhahahahhahahhahhahahhahahahhaaaaaaaaaa sorry H just had to

[henri]

seems theres a emergency code an then ya can print the forms an fill manually , but then mot-er has to ring vosa n enter numbers into record by phone . met guy from kwik-fit today ,he'd done 1 mot ,took half hour as by rules , then 2 1/2 hours on hold to get through by phone to enter numbers , he didnt mind as he sat in office drinkin free posh coffee reading the paper , twice ,
an its a 1st mot for a resto ,my hacks got 8 months ,so not too bothered , tho the guy who wants to buy it to go to "pile of sh*te" bank holiday is having kittens ,had to turn my phone off ,couldnt hack another "what if" text . H

Got mine done this morning.
New system still down – been sh↑te again for last couple of days apparently.
Kev did it anyway; handwritten his copy to input into system when it's working, and I'll go back for my certificate in a couple of days when printed.

tha Spanish went thru ok Monday , so good news for both of us , got the cosa's at 11 this morn but don't need a paper copy for that 1 as its taxed online n staying in the family, H

[sime66]

Me too with the online taxing; much simpler, and my old printed MOT runs for a couple of weeks too anyway.
I was particularly pleased this year because it marks 12 full months on my rebuilt engine with not one incident of mechanical aggro at all; just Winter prep, Spring service and pre-MOT checks and tweaks. The only outstanding job is an oil change, but my drain 'temporary' bodgery is overdue a permanent fix now.
What's the update? Cosa sorted? VOSA system running smoothly?

[henri]

nope vosa systems fecked ,so no mot's today , old 1 runs out nxt weds ,so fingers crossed can get it sorted by then , H

[henri]

hells teeth , i'm away so sent management over with her cosa at 3.30 for mot , got a pass ,so still sort of 100% pass rate , beggar of my mot-er did it cheap at £25 , coz "he likes her smile/style" , smooth b*st**d , going to have a discussion ,didnt mind when i had kid with me offering her "tea,coffee,vodka" then stuffin choccy biscuits her way ,the voddy was a joke , but smarmin the management n her gettin mot's a fiver off , he owes me a "free pass" , an ive just the frankenscoot in mind ,H

[vespasco]

But im quietly confident its all ok. It's always ready for an MOT!

Keep up your checks and servicing and it will last many, many more years without issue

[henri]
