Thought u were busy satdee night 

Was just seeing how easy it would be to sway you. 

VEry  but just been investigating other options which the wife might approve of and can drive 

[SoundillusioN]

[JC]

Only if it was an auto

Failed MoT 

3 fails

5 advisories

Booked in at a mates garage spare ramp on Wednesday so I can fix things 

[Diamond Hell]

What on earth did it fail on?!

Bet it's not 'corrosion within 30cm of a seatbelt mounting point, is it? 

[Len]

 

Hope they not too difficult/costly to fix

[JC]

So, the 3 fails

60%  brake imbalance on the front - but it seems to drive ok, knowing I road test cars at work, they cant believe I didnt notice 

Steering rack gaitor split - this in turn is restricting the car going onto full right hand lock - again, they cant understand how i didn know when i am a picky fcuker when roadtesting cars at work 

Emissions - co2 high - but when it was put back on the tester at lunch to adjust it - it was fine 

So on wednesday it's front brake clean up, fluid change and steering rack gaitor change 

Advisories were all niff naff ones, 

not one mention of corrision or rot, and as the tester was getting QC'd it got a VERY good going over.

so not too bad considering its age, and a 04 plate 206 got condemned on the next test thru 

[topher]

if it was getting QC'd why did it not fail on plates?
