Took the Cinq for its MOT....and its failed, but i'm over the moon!
Its passed all emissions tests, despite a K&N, so so worries with that anymore, the new spark plugs 200 miles ago proving their worth.
It passed the handbrake test - but the tester did tell me it needs adjusting a little, but only due to the handbrake having to be pulled up 9 clicks, not because its unstable. At 9 clicks, Hulk couldn't push it
The dreaded driver seat also passed, he gave it a good shake, but didn't seem bothered by it.
So now, the failures. Amazingly, it only failed on 1 single thing, which i'm hoping someone will tell/help me do within 14 days to get a free re-test. Its 'Nearside Rear Wheel Bearing Worn To Excess'
Anyone able to help me with this? It a simple replace? The tester said something about taking off the wheel, tightening or clicking something, and then that would be it, but i had my brother-in-law to check Haynes, and he seems doubtful.
Any help on this would be appreciated, i'm hoping to do the work myself, or with the aid of a mechanic (brother-in-law again!) to get this sorted!
I smiled when he said it only failed on 1 thing
Another day...another problem...
