I usually get one of the old mot check sheets out and go over my car checking each one I can .

Obviously some chassis stuff and suspension is not as easily to check but if it drives well in a straight line with no clonks or bumps It should be ok.

anyway yours is a fine example so I wouldn't worry too much

Good luck !!! Anita

the main thing they really look for on cavs suspension units, balljoints, track rod ends etc.

Also rust spots, like sills, fuel lines, brake lines etc.

when is it due anita?

Next Friday

hate bloody mots, i just dont have faith in my car, even though its gone through the last 3 years (thanks to gaz

)
it comes from being ripped off in the past and having huge bills.

I have NO room to complain

gaz told me last year the track rod ends were worn, and i knew i needed a tyre fitted. Bollocks to me

It could be worse Anita lol

emissions, brake pipes and rust near structral areas are a few i can think of

Tis a shame i havent enough time to fit it in to come and help you fix it, im up in Preston this weekend, but ive got to go home tomorrow

Ive got bits n pieces to do for my mot, ive got welding to do and now a broken windscreen to sort which was fine Thursday night and friday morning i find it has a very large crack on the passenger side for some reason

I dont mind this job i should have done it last year but they missed it on the last mot

dave's.veccy · Post by **dave's.veccy** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 10:46 pm

they arnt the hardest things to do in the world lol

Not that bad a failure sheet, theres no welding needed and everything that it has failed on is a perishable part - so well done!

Squig · Post by **Squig** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 12:04 pm

sounds like it could have been much worse... a tyre and some track rod ends are nothing really

Gaz · Post by **Gaz** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 3:43 pm

Squig · Post by **Squig** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 5:37 pm

Gaz · Post by **Gaz** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 6:18 pm

well 2 track rod ends for £16, isnt bad and i dont have to wait for them to get lost in the post

Squig · Post by **Squig** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 6:26 pm

that's not bad at all mate

Gaz · Post by **Gaz** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 6:30 pm

considering i went in at half 2 and they were in by 4, got myself 2 seals and 9 new copper exhaust nuts and 2 studs for a tenner while i was there.
