Failed MOT... FFS

[Ads_172]

... on a N/S rear caliper handbrake link, or something to that effect. More money chucked at it after new tyres went on last weekend.

Only had discs & pads fitted all round a month ago.

Lol, I love her and knew that there'd be things that needed doing - hence the price I bought it for , but it's annoying that it's something brake-related so soon after getting all the discs and pads changed.

Even with a corroding / corroded exhaust, it's flown through the emissions test, 0% at slow revs and 0.01% at fast.

ah my corroded exhuast threw my emissions out but only by .1 or something tiny.

doesnt matter tho - warrebns fitting a new full exhuast system anyways

Already done! Suspension being done as we speak. The handbrake won't be an issue, I have a 'sympathetic' mot tester, as long as I tell him a new caliper's going on, he'll pass me.

Lol, my MOT guy's 'sympathetic' but he said that the reading was so low (14kgf, when the O/S is about 120kgf) that he really couldn't pass it. I think his words were "fucked, mate".

The exhaust will be changing but it can wait until after Christmas now that there's no MOT issues with it...

Warren, keeping this one for more than a week!?!

My old Ph1 172 failed on that. At Renault too because my Renault Tech mate was on holiday.

£400! FFS

Well it wasn't quite that painful but bad enough. Still, feels better for it now.
