Hi all,
I just wanted to say how chuffed I am to have found this site (I think everyone says that!) and apologies for my first post being a request rather than an offer of help. My 1.9 watercooled (1989) is due an MOT in April, so I'm just thinking ahead (can't wait for the summer!) and researching possible T25 specialists in the Cardiff area. I've heard good things about Volks Engineering, and checked their website, but it's not clear if they do MOT testing? Do any of the Cardiff guys on here have any MOT recommendations?
Thanks very much in advance everyone,
Ade

VolksEngineering don't do the MOTs themselves. They prep the vehicles and then take them to Whitchurch Motors, Norman Road, close to the common in Whitchurch. Their number is 029 20621312.
I've not used them myself, but Chris (volksEngineering) uses them for all his MOT's.

Thanks very much for the info! There could be a couple of minor issues to address, so I think I'll go down the route of taking it to Chris at Volks Engineering to have a look at these, and then get it over to Whitchurch Motors for the MOT itself.
Thanks again for replying - much appreciated,
Ade

hi.
welcome to the weird world of the t25 from cardiff

i have used chris for various jobs,but not mot/ as previous believe he takes them to garage in whitchurch

you can also use the council enginering works in grangetown.
thing is they are fair,and don,t do repairs so not out to make a buck or 2.(not saying that everyone does though)

Thanks VERAT25! That's really useful info - I hadn't heard about the Council MOT testing place before - I'll check it out...
All the best from Caerphilly!
