TAFKARM Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I've got my first MOT this afternoon using a new test centre since I've moved house. I've checked the lights all work, I'm on a Q plate so no emissions, no windscreen and only one seat so there can't be much to fail it on... Time will tell...

TAFKARM Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Passed! The usual shanter when any mechanic sees the car "I've got a 1.9 CVH that will destroy this" "What did you put a duratec in for" "I used to race but they banned because i was winning everything" I'll smile and nod if it means a pass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats so funny - I just grin and bare it for the 40minutes and get out, means to an end sadly. Had the same when I used to take my WRX there, how far can you drift it etc etc ....

TAFKARM Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 How did you get on Dom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombanks Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 mine failed on cracked steering gaiters and a bit of "play" on the rear wheel which turned out to be a bolt that needed nipping up on the bush. NMS sorted the MOT so the garage issued the cert and they fixed the issues. ironically when they were fitting the new bushes I noticed the ball joint gaiter was also damaged so I guess its a new one of those at some point. all in all not bad and its legal again for a year.

dombanks Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Good news all round by the sounds of it... just need to figure out why my speedo seems to be registering at 1/2 speed now! It certainly didn't feel like 45 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
