as title, my lovely lady friend has one in her possesion (Ford KA) but is currently declared SORN as it has failed its MOT on a number of things and she can't afford what her local dealership has quoted her to fix it. Only problem I'm facing when I look at the MOT certificate is I can't really work out what the problem so bar buy random new parts and stick them on I can't do a lot else...
...so I'll put a list up and see if anyone can help me (PLEASE!!!!).
Main issues:
Nearside rear brake recording little or no effort
Parking brake recording little or no effort
Service brake efficency below requirements
Surely the above must be something to do with the drums/shoes/rear cylinders?
and then pretty self explanitory:
CAT Cracked (looked into it, its part of the manifold like on the 1.6 mk2 brava) and is easy enough to get hold of from cats-direct.
Front shocks leaking (sorted, buypartsbuy )
Exhaust blowing in multiple places (again, cats-direct)
Lower Suspension arms failed (looked and found a DIY guide for it)
Nearside Driveshaft, is that easy for me to do?
Front light not working on dipped beam all the time (she knocked it so I'm guessing get another unit from the scrappy?)
Bumper not attached properly at wing (caused by the above )
Any help would be greatly recieved, I know its a Fiat forum but still...I want her to be able to come visit me and be able to get about without using local transport services (Crap!)
So with that in mind...PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Cheers,
Dan
