Sometimes an MOT failure is a good thing

Since dropping the subframe on the 9-5 last year, I've had an intermittent knock from underneath when braking or accelerating. A while back I nipped up the subframe bolts to see if that would help but it seemd to make things worse.

Anyway, it was MOT time yesterday and ther were a couple of minor fails, one of which was a missing nut on the rear of the NS lower wishbone. Popped one on when I got it home and bingo- no more noises from underneath.

I'm a happy bunny!

The only question left then was did I forget to refit it when I did the subframe? If so it went thorugh an MOT last year with it missing.
