Belated update. The 740 finally got its MoT test this morning (after three weeks sitting in a corner at the garage). My Mondeo's in for MoT today, so they did the Volvo first thing while I waited, in the hope that it would pass and I could drive it home. And the result is...
... it passed!!!! I'm chuffed, because it means my welding was evidently up to standard!

Well done; yes I know it's rather belated but I'm piggy-backing onto this thread to announce that the Exxon Valdez has another year's life.
It was a close shave though as the near-side wiper arm decided to become the near-side bonnet cleaner when I ran through the basic last-minute check-list. There are a few advisories that will be dealt with once the weather and bank balance improve.

Val's in for hers on next Thursday, I'm expecting a fail but should be nothing major that I can't sort out. Just need a clear drive and some better weather. She's not a daily so I can take my time.

Checking the function revealed that it was simply a case of re-locating the arm and tightening up the nut that secures the arm to the spindle.

Still got her quirks - random high idle and haunted ABS - but both of those can wait for the spring.
