cliosport 172
OK - had some brill help on here before - and now i have just taken my 172 for its MOT.
The car has more or less sat idle for best part of a year, but i did expect to pass.... mad i know....
So - he says there is a prob with the lamp, said for me to undo the light, unplug it - then clean the connection and it should be ok.
I've never touched a clio - never mind a ight, but was shocked to find just one screw thing seems to hold it all together - unplugged the light - the whole thing comes away, and i put it back on - checked all of my lights with neighbour and all seems fine.
Exhaust - this is a prob - he says it failed the emissions bug time due to the centre box being pitted and leaking, then said - prob dont need a new centre box - could be welded? Does he mean somebody could put a plate over the pits? Seal the holes? What's the craik?
Then - rear brakes - he says they read 70 - he was expecting 200, whatever that means. So i said - do you mean it needs new pads/discs or what?
He says - prob just need them striping back and cleaning - FFS - i have no idea!
Can anybody recomend a friendly garage that could do this minor bit of stuff? I'm in Bedworth - near Coventry and Nuneaton.
Also - since getting back in the car the engine management light is on, and i've hardly any power after about 30 to 40 mph - it wasnt like that before - and there is a light in the dash on showing like a curly electrical thing - wtf is that?
I'm not a car man in the repair and fixing of things - would value some advice.
The MOT centre i have used before and had no issues - £30.
