Re: the £90 bravo 1.8 hlx
it wont be a dodgy repair, i will just be undersealing the whole underside, if the mot tester fails to see it then surely there at fault not me, hundreds of 'unsafe' cars get passed every day.

Don't be so silly. Yes there will be a few from 'dodgy' testers and these scum need to pay.

ermmm yeah, i know of about 40 a day in southend, where the testers dont even see the car, so over the uk? probably thousands tbh rather than just hundreds.
and i work at an mot place, even if the car has just passed, it can still be dangerous, a brake pipe above a fuel tank could still be rotten and explode like one did the other week after test.

Then in the interests of other peoples safety didn't you think of reporting this to VOSA or is it ok aslong as you save a few quid?

not particularly, none of my business is it, would end up getting me killed by them.

Re: the £90 bravo 1.8 hlx
i dont make the rules.... not being funny here but if a car say passes the mot but gets a advisory on some rust somewhere, 6 months later it could be a 'death trap' but its still on the road, many cars on the road are like this... if i made the rules i wouldnt have any advisories personally.... other countrys are much more strict that we are.
and if you were to see the rust on my car im sure you would drive it, its tiny, its a damn sight safer than my fiat uno thats for sure.

Re: the £90 bravo 1.8 hlx
Until someone has an accident and their seatbelt doesn't work as rust has eaten the mounting.......
Not something I'd want on my conscience tbh.
Just hope people do their research and come across beau's enlightening views on his cars before they buy!.

A bit shocked and ashamed Dave with this comment.
As a mod or someone with the power of yourself in my opinion agreeing with a potential dodgy repair, well i cant see or wouldnt expect any other of the mods to agree with this sort of an act.
Perhaps personal view differs, but in terms of in general and the forum i wouldnt expect a mod to post that
Hope personally it was in gest however
