Test would have expired April ‘20, but was extended to Oct ‘20, so I meant I got an extra 6 months.

A fkin Men so we lost 6k last year , scroats ripped cladding back long story but alarm didn't go off as they never left the pallet racking hence didn't trip sensor... Insurance ...sorry alarm didn't go off no pay out. Ffs. Since then I've dotted every tit.an MOT is only good for the moment it was done .... can fail a day later ....
onus is on the owner to maintain the vehicle in a roadworthy condition continuously .....
an insurer will only cover a vehicle which is legally entitled to be in use on the road ....
check you are entitled to tow ... without it you will not be insured ... etc. ....
commuting to/from a place of work is not always covered ... check the small print ....
"social, domestic and pleasure" is a huge restriction on insurance cover ......
check how many occupants you are insured for .. not all co.s cover 5 people in a vehicle
they are insurers ... they will wriggle at the slightest opportunity

Well ... I've known Neil (the MOT fella) 41 years ... he's a close personal friend, who used to frequently come to my home with his wife socially (before all this s**t) and he'd have zero reason to feed me BS Gaz.

Well my mot'er is my cousins partner and i asked him before May (when my mot was due to expire) if i needed to get it mot'd and he said i could of i wanted (but he was busy and short staffed) but that it would extend for 6 months if i didn't and that i was ok to use it if this was the case. So that's what i did and got it mot'd in November. Again like you he's no reason to feed me bs maybe it's down to interpretation? As i said its mot'd now and as i didn't have an accident I'll never know what insurance would have made of it.

so quick up date ..... P38 waltzed its MOT with all the new bits .... perfect readouts and it's right for another year
Weather has been atrocious with a couple of lots of white shite, some serious frosts and huge volumes of rain, coupled with some pretty high winds.
midnight last night, we had one hell of a 'blow' come through which, literally picked up me polytunnel, complete with half a tonne of sand bags and flipped it upside down ...... could not believe it, after all the winds we have had the last few months, .... 'twas like a rag in the wind 
... so out there last night in the rain, disconnecting the cover and rolling it up into a dumpy, for sorting later.
frame has taken a few dings, which're gonna take a bit of sorting, but TBH I am amazed there's not more damage
same can't be said of the sand bags ..... gonna need some new ones

Half a ton of sand is nothing. You see marquees with 1T IBC's filled with water or concrete on each corner of them. I'd say you didn't have anywhere near enough weight on it and just got lucky until now!

it's taken some serious wind so far and I keep an eye on the bags ..... must've just been the right direction to completely fill it and lift it off .... odd thing was it wasn't particularly blowy all evening .... must've been sooooooooome gust

Mate of mind owns a JLR spares dealership and buys and sells many model. So get to drive them all when we got out for a boys road trip
Yes lucky with the polytunnel - you will have time to get it ready for outside meetings later in the year
Our first polytunnel over the pool blew off the same weekend
And that was with a back filled trench. Second attempt was better

Forgot to say, My D3 died at the weekend again. Waiting on diagnosis, don't *think* it's the crank this time, maybe a timing chain clip or gearbox.

looking at the forecast for next week you'm gonna need it, if you get the same as they're predicting for here ..
snowfall depth is x10 that of equivalent rainfall ... so about 6" over a couple of days .... hopefully they've got it wrong, but the temps are not going to help

.... WTF do I replace it with ... has more than enough lecktrickery on board for my liking ... newer stuff is so much worse.Disco needs the attention it deserves, when the weather improves.
I presume the second attempt was concreted in???
gonna put a deck together for our 6m x 3 m job and screw it to that ... and make it reasonably 'mobile' -- with suitable handling equipment and lift eyes strategically positioned
do not want a repeat of last night's take off ...... we were lucky to get away with such limited damage

Well, worst case I'll have to try and persuade the D2 to start. The D3 isn't going anywhere soon. Stuck with the Kia for now

one to make you lot smile ....... took Clara for a walk around the fields .
.... she'd had great fun on our previous excursions and wanderings ..... wanted to go back to this dingle in the woods this afternoon .
all was fine, 'til grand dad caught a foot in a little tree root in the mud going down hill across the field .... and went for a full frontal nose dive, into the brown tish ...... now that was bad enough ...... but little 'un was holding my hand at the time .... and didn't let go quick enough ...... so we're both lying there, headlong, face down in the mud ..... and I expected a full eppy to break out any second ......
instead i got "i'm OK grand dad ... are you OK ?" ...
' was 'kin long way from OK, but wasn't letting on ....... and that was the end of today's excursion .... with the most direct route home for a possible earful ..... Pam thought it was bloody hilarious ......... and Clara took it all in her stride ........ long time since i've been that far up to me eyeballs in the tish
