Your MOT visits are / have been too spooky for me. You had EXACTLY the same
experience as me. I know last time we shared the Hand brake issue. BUT on my
second visit to the MOT station I had a brake pedal to the floor situation
and didn't even get to the ramp either. My first issue after the MOT was
after a 250 mile run a water hose split.... Watch out for this one as I
think our cars were separated at birth......!!!

Oh by the way its the hose from water pump and the split will be just over
the alternator belt :-)
