Mot due may

[Sj1782]

Mot is due end of May,
Anyone know of any friendly mot testers around Leeds as I reckon my exhaust is going to fail with how loud it is

 

[Goodj]

Shove a sock up each pipe as a muffler. job jobbed

 

[Chrisgti6]

Just fit a none chavvy exhaust?

 

[Sj1782]

I would but short on cash atm so can't really afford to get a different exhaust

 

[dolphinsfan]

Don't think they check the loudness unless it's blowing as long as the emissions are ok that's all that matters

 

[Sj1782]

Just unsure as I took it to the local garage and they said its to loud, can't afford to get a new exhaust atm either :/

 

[Mike@Rentech]

I've never had a car fail on exhaust to loud, only for blowing and so on.
Must have around 500 cars for MOTS a year at my place , so I expect yours will be fine.

 

[Sj1782]

Ah hopefully should be ok then! There's no back boxes just a cat and centre box

for the vehicle, assess subjectively the
effectiveness of the silencer in reducing exhaust
noise. similar vehicle with a standard silencer in average condition

but unless if f**king stupidly loud you should be ok

It's as loud as my mates Subaru on tick over and his has a decat

Holy Christ mate, does it not do your head in,
Go where you or your family normally go for tests that usually gets a bit more of a sympathetic test

 

[Sj1782]

Yeah drones like mad in the car! Can't afford to change exhaust over yet so having to make do! Local garage I normally use said it won't pass. So trying to find someone before mot is due haha

I use a place in Morley near work that are pretty easy going. If you called in one day before booking it in, I bet they could tell you whether it was too loud or not for them to pass before booking it in.

Could you forward the garage details? I'm off to Morley on Friday so that would kill 2 birds with 1 stone :smile:

There's a few garages in Morley but these are the ones I use. Also been helpful when I've been down, even when I just needed a bolt undoing they've just got it on the ramp and taken it off there and then for me.

If you happen to go down side of Morrisons when in Morley and see a dirty Orange Clio parked in the road, that'll be mine
