they do make up the rules as they go along, i love the bit "i'm just going to put you on hold whilst i check with my manager......................................that'll be £3163.23"
they don't, some cars (as mr lemon knows) have various "special" items listed on the MOT system, such as Aston AMV8 - do not test on brake rollers as it will destroy the diff
its all a bit OTT this, Trophy owners being a bit over precious IMO, run them til they leak, then fix them - simple
repinning is a waste of time, just line the adjusters up with the pin hole
genuine shafts have the inner CV boot internally mounted/clipped because the clearance between the boot and shaft is so close, "mickey mouse" non genuine shafts will have external clips/enternally mounted gaitors which = at speed as the boot expands it will rub on the block tearing it open
sometimes you have to loosen up the CAT spring bolts and adjust it that way, any mechanic with half a brain can do it, as i said a blind man with no arms can fit it perfectly
