Technical MOT time today!

[goodgirl156]

After all my hard work, pain, loss of skin and a pint or so of blood, 4 trips to scrap yards and £250 spent in parts. Its time to put the sci though its MOT (lapsed while on stands)

handbrake: check and locks rear wheels
Breaks: if you hit it hard 4 wheel lock and no deviation
Lights: all working, replaced silly blue LED side lights
Bulbs: all checked and working
Tyers: all legal and not damaged
Suspension : done although its possible it could fail on something like a ball joint, no play however
No holes in exhaust
no corrosion issues

The only thing I think its possable it will fail in is brakelines as there is/was some surface corrosion, I took this off with a wire brush and undersealed

I have done all I can, now its down to the MOT tester, I feer after seeing the car striped like it is, battery located to the boot and lowered there just going to pick holes in it for fun

I hate MOT's

YEY it passed

Got an advisory on the passengers front and rear tyres, an oil leak and the handbrake only just made requirements (it locks the rear wheels solid on my drive..)

I think the station were pleasantly surprised by it as it did draw some attention with the complete lack of insides

off to put some tax on it tomorrow!

ill guess that the oil leak is the rocker cover gasket, handbrake common prob. tyres no prob lol intersting that its the passanger side

 

[goodgirl156]

I have a spare rocker cover here im going to try, I wouldn't mind but I changed the gaskit and its still weeping.

They said there was a possibility as it was wet and the car has no weight may have effected the results

whack some silicon around the bottom of the gasket when fitting and wait a day for it to dry sorts the leak out

Or make sure you follow the torque settings.
