Title: MOT tomorrow...oh dear
Post by: Benrevs on 14 December 2007, 18:56

 :undecided:  Its that time again.. I have spent the best part of 2 weeks tryin to get it up to scratch. All I can do is pray!  Why does everything goe tits-up in the week coming up to the mot?   Basically the steering column bearing has started to loosen and has a slight wobble, something has started creaking up front and I somehow have a huge flap of rubber hanging off my tyre..   and It has failed on emissions before now... somehow!        Im sh!tting it to be honest.lol :sad:

Mine is in Feb and I'm sh!tting it because I don't know much about Golfs and what makes them tick...
Hence why I bought the Haynes manual and join this forum!
But she runs fine, only battled to start her on a VERY cold and frosty morning.

Only thing I can suggest is to check this site:
