I've had this one every year. This year i rubbed the pipes with a bit of wet and dry and slapped on the hammerite. Under the sh!t they were like new though

So youve mot`d your car and its failed,does this mean you now have no mot until it passes,as the fail voids any remaining mot? thought i heard something about it called the mot trap  :shocked:

I don't think so, as my current MOT isn't up until 7th Augist and they said even if it fails I still have up until then. Although I will check this now.

This. I did it too after getting an advisory one year. Did this the following year and flew through without a mention. As long as the unions are in a reasonable state, it should be fine mate.

Gutted, ah well, not a terrible fail though.  were the other bits minor?

Post by: Len on 19 July 2012, 12:45
They may not be minor as Shady has failed to mention them!

Or they are stupid ones he dont want to admit, like no water in the washers! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

No the minor ones were chip in windscreen and something else.

I made sure all obvious things were done such as washer fluid.  :grin:

How much work is involved with replacing brake pipes? And how much roughly should I be letting a garage charge for the job?

Likewise, failed last year got a second opinion and rubbed them down then it went straight through on retest. This year I got an advisory on them. When I get the chance il clean then up properly and hammerite them as well.

Don't be such a fat sorry mother loser.. rub them down and brush some hammerite on them. Jeez so bloody lazy. If not tell Chels to do it for ruining your holiday.

Although i bet you still popped it in whilst she was drunk off her face..
