6 days later and it passed, and afew days later after that i bought the car. Very odd indeed, car was from a dealer btw (dodgy dealer now I know)
Anyway, looking at the big fail list from the first test, I need some clearing up.
Ive sorted out most of it (by pure coincidence).
Ive got new tyres on there, new top mounts, new wishbone bushes and new balljoints (Fail from previous MOT), and the "Front Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (8.2.3)" Im guessing it was because there wasnt any water in the windscreen washer tank, cos I get plenty of water to the wishscreen. Also I checked both rear wheels and they spin freely, with no binding at all.
But I want to know what the following mean:
Steering system has excessive free play detected at the steering wheel (steering rack fitted) (2.2.A.1b)
I cant feel any play in the steering wheel
Nearside Rear Radius arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.3)
Offside Rear Radius arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement (2.4.G.3)and then from the last MOT pass (the 6 days later) it was this advisories:
Nearside Rear Bonded suspension unit deteriorated but can function as intended (2.4.F.3)
Offside Rear Bonded suspension unit deteriorated but can function as intended (2.4.F.3)I know the rear bump stops in the suspension are buggered, is that the meaning of the advisories?
Anyone shed any light on what the bits i put in
bold mean?
