Right, so the 100HP failed MOT today. Rear shock absorber top mount excessively worn. I changed the shocks last november with bilstein b4's. I asked the garage for a second opinion but basically he said fail is a fail.
Don't know why but i had the old ones at work so they have fitted one of them (temporary) and passed.
I have the "failed" part, but to me it looks absolutely fine. Car as been fine to no knocking wobbling etc. There is a tiny amount movement if i stick a screwdriver through hole and move it. Unfortunately i didn't read about appealing until they swapped part.
as the part is only 6 months old i contacted seller who says i have 12 month warranty but now ignoring messages. I am thinking of taking the shock to a couple of garages and asking what they think.
Is it worth the hassle? And anyone else experienced this type of thing?.
