If you're religious, pray for me. If you're an athiest (like me) then just rub my head and tell me everything is going to be ok.

Good luck old boy. I'm always nervous about mot time! Let us know the result 

[X01X]

It'll be fine. Mine only failed on a number plated bulb. When i changed it the police spoke to me as i had a screwdriver by my car.

I was like "just changing the bulb on MY car"

His response was " ah well, can't nick you for that"

Yeah, i'd f**king well hope not lol

As the MOT said to me "mechanically your car is solid, the rust sadly.."
200 odd quid later 

[Gash]

can you fail not having a dash?

[packardjc]

It's in. Last year not even an advisory so....

[packardjc]

Ha! Failed. Needs welding underneath cause there's holes (wonderful), needs exhaust welding and needs a tyre. I hate it. I want rid in May and this is a joke.

[Rmachines]

Patch it up, floor pans are a wear and tear item on the MK3 lol,   so is a tyre and exhaust,  pretty good going really.  shouldnt set you back too much for a bit of plating!   

[Luke1981]

The rusted holes underneath are prob around the rubber drainage bungs, common prob. I would do all the prep work myself ie remove carpets etc to keep the cost down.

I can't weld haha! It's cool my mate is going to do it in his lunch hour at work on Sat (he's a mechanic) so it'll cost a crate of beer. Although if it's a bigger job than one lunchtime he says he'll have to do it in the shop meaning £40 p/h
