I booked the car in for it's MOT a couple of months early as the more I drive the car the worse it feels. Steering was very sloppy and unpredictable. I thought getting a garage to do the MOT at this stage would give me a long list of things to work though and get sorted.
Well, it failed but no where near as badly as I thought it would. It failed on:
1) Emissions - Which they suspect is down to a hole in the exhaust that they found.
2) Number Plate Bulb - I really should have checked that before hand - oh well, I was worried about the suspension.
3) CV Boot.
4) Rear Brake Pipe Excessively Corroded (one side).
There was also and advisory on a ball joint as well which could explain the poor handling. There replacing everything at the garage to save the cost of another MOT test and I don't think the bill will be too drastic.
I'll be going through a list of advisories too and getting them sorted asap.
A special mention to
@bloke for all of the advice and help. I'll be back in touch
