Title: MOT Time..retest..
Post by: lee celtic on March 13, 2009, 11:53:11

Well I'm just about to go and find out if the old girl has passed or not.. I suspect it won't as one of the number plate lights was not working this morning and I didn't have time to fix it before taking her in  :'(

I also suspect the fuel pump may need to be tweeked down as well. :roll:

I'll let you all know the outcome later.....

and if all the welding and swivel bearings I did last week helped  ;)

Well she failed  :lol: :lol:

Heres the list.............

small hole in chassy on drivers side rear

small hole (in the same place) on passenger side

play in lower stearing shaft joint 

inner wheel bearing seal drivers side front leaking

drivers side brake low output (due to above)

and the number plate bulb... :lol:

everything else was fine  :dance: :dance:

So I think a trip to ebay for a front wheel bearing set ( if it's coming off I might as well do the whole hub ) a steering joint , then I'll get the welder out  ;)
