I'm not sure what is going to happe, my brother says my tyres are legal so i've not got that to worry about, i'm just a little concerned abut what i cant see! lol think the breaks are ok! and i know all my bulbs work, just got to stick number plate on for mot! argh!!! hannah attacks car with stickey tape! :evil:
wish me luck!!!
-
best of luck... btw if sticky take does not work then ducktape will always hold anything to anything,.... my stepfathers landrover is held together by the stuff! :grin:
-
i bit the bulet and it's now screwed on! lol , the car has just gone off the drive so im sur the garage have collected it!! How long does an mot take? i'm soo nervous!
on the good side my insurance cover note has arrived so i can tax it! can i dirve the car to being taxed even though the tax is invalid???
-
IIRC as long as you pay from the beginning of the month you'll be taxed anyway... If you get stopped up to 14 days into the month they'll give you a producer and you have to get it done from the beginning of the month..... :smiley:
-
cool, panic over, thought i was gunna have to cycle to PO! lol on my mums purple bike with basket and scoopy crossbar!!!
-
i was driving around for a month before i notice my tax was out of date :lipsrsealed: but bought the tax online. much easier that way. all you need is a new style mot
-
what about insurance cover note?
-
you dont need it for some reason... from what i remember you just put few details like car reg, the mot number and then your bank details.. nice and easy, just how i like it. :smiley:

i think i'll go to PO after the trouble i've gone to for 3 months in tryin to get my cover note!!
-
all you need to tax it online is your license renewal reminder (V10 ?) form. As long as your mot centre is up to date... DVLA already know if your car is insured and has a valid MOT. I tax mine this way because I can never remember which "safe place" i kept my docs in. :undecided:
-
Nah, I want pics of you on your purple girlie bike! :grin:
-
FAILED!!!!
:cry: shes failed on a numberplate light bulb (only one i didnt check)
brake hose is bulging under pressure... (not good so i understand)
and my drive shaft thingy which is held on by allen key things, only 2 of them are fastened on out of 5 apparently!
total fee £99 inc vat for mot and repair work!
should b done in an hour!!!
-
:sad: :cry:
-
ahhh well :cry: atleast it will be sorted in an hour. also that not too bad if it will be mot'd and fixed for 100 bucks

Mine failed it's test on Tuesday... excess play in nsf ball joint, excess play in nsr wheel bearing, both rear axle bushes and emissions :sad:
Sorted it Tuesday night/Wednesday morning and flew through the re-test :cool: What an experience changing them back axle bushes is... "likely to become displaced" it said on the failure sheet!!! NO CHANCE! we were very aggressive with a very big tapping stick before they let loose. Took full axle off so just put it in the vice to push new bushes into place. Rear wheel bearing just needed nipping up and I gave her a mini-service with oil and air/oil filter change and adjusted air/fuel for the emissions. :smiley:
16 year old car and failed on v.minimal things really... gotta love dubs.
-
count urselves lucky, my valver has to have a VIC check first, when ever that may be! and then an MOT!!
-
mine had a VIC check done last year! nay bother!
test fails -
001 offside reg plate lamp not workin
002 ns front brake hose bulging under pressure
003 ns front drive shaft coupling is insecure,
advisory -
04 rear exhaust system has minor leak of exhaust gs (there is more than the rear one??)
005 near wheel besring slight play
apart from that she's good to emission, now she's been runnin a year after been stood for 2, emissions are down,
CO - <=3.500 mine was 1.68 :smiley:
HC - <=01200 mine was 00405
woooot for my driver!!!
Also taxed her today too, £175 lighter!!!
-
ah but was urs written off? :undecided:
-
when i bought it? yeah! :grin:
-
touche! there is hope for us all that are VIC bound then! :laugh:
-
haha, it means nothing really.. not on mine! :smiley:
-
at least it passed nice 1
my mates co2 emmisions for his vr6 were 12000 and it failed :grin:
-
mine was way over last year, dunno how we sorted it, lol
altho a year of being run properly and emissions are down low!!! :wink:
-
Jumping in bit late here, but mine went in for it's MOT a couple of weeks ago and I was also papping myself seeing as it's an old car an all. Passed without needing anything done to it - I was well pleased. I guess the guy I bought it off in Oct must have really taken care of it.
Of course it's now got a wonky bumper so them positive vibes I sent the MOT tester must have backfired on me eventually...
