mot test / cills and a-post
« on: 15 May 2009, 18:19 »
would you consider a-post to be structual,the only reason i ask is vosa are checking my car on wednesday and as the cills that are corroded to hell conect to the a-post, and the "excess corrosion" is within 30cm of the a-post (both sides),hence my thinking of it failing an mot due to the a-post been "structual",is this right?anyone who knows please share your valuable info with me as im still feeling  :sick: about all this

i would get those side skirts off and have a look underneath there too.

Think it could be repaired though.

The skirts should be screwed to the sill, as mike said would be worth looking underneath and see how bad they are.

The garage in question look's like it's in a bit of bother!   :grin:  
Wouldn't worry though daimo I know it's not a good situation but you won't end up out of pocket!
