I took my car for a MOT at one garage, where, as I knew it would, it failed. I needed to know where abouts it some whelding needed doing.

I have had problems with the sills flooded with water because the drain pipe blocked, so check yours.

Any way. Went to one garage it failed on 5 places.

*Rear drivers wheel arch 3 small holes,

*Small hole same side outer sill,

+Passenger side under sill needs seam whelding all along?!?

+Bad whelding on passenger sill where it joins the door sill,

+Floor near rear driver suspension.

 

The ones with the * are what he said was wrong on the first test. The ones with the + is what he said was wrong after the retest, and then he told me I will have to pay for a whole new test.

 

I went to a different garage straight away. After that test, 1 thing wrong.

Seam whelding? No it does not have to be,

Bad whelding? NO, that is Nissans original whelding and is perfect (So Im Told)

Floor near suspension. No its was a dried up leaf.

 

Under sill drivers side, the gap on the repairs I have done was too large from the under belly.

 

It is now being done for £30

 

How can 2 places have 2 completely different MOT results.

First Garage;

 

Were there any horses parked outside and were all the 'Mechanics' eating beans?

 

Second garage;

 

Sounds OK to me.....£30 get you an MOT certificate..

 

..you serious about the dried up leaf? If so phone the other garage back up (garage 1) and tell them that....they will choke on their beans!!

 

 

Matty.

Swiss Tony stylee: "Because my friend, the MOT test is a bit like making love to a beautiful woman, no two experiences are ever the same...you see Stu an MOT is much like teasing a woman into rapture...sometimes she'll be yelling give it to me big boy! But others she'll just turn off the light and go to sleep!"

 

Bit like getting two quotes for car insurance from the same brokerage company but different locations.

 

E.G. I'm with Hill House Hammond on the Captain Kirk in Llandudno(home) but thought it would be easier to sort out my renewal from Stevenage branch(work). What a surprise, quoted £800 in Stevenage...see ya! Quoted £400 in Llandudno...ohhh heeellllooooo!

 

I wish that I could make up my time sheet every week like car insurance companies and MOT testers do every day...LMFAO!

 

Tim: "my god, this week I've done 250 hours...I'm minted!"

 

Not very realistic is it?

Yes dried up leaf. I was whelding there a few days ago and I put black metal protector on, leaf got stuck in it, and garage No 1 must have seen it abit wrinkly, poked his finger at it and heared a crinkle of the leaf. Ooooo It must be rust.

I think it is better to get MOT tests done at the government places. Then they are strict but have no (financial) interest in whether the car passes or fails. Take it to a garage and you thought you were driving a car, but they see it as a gravy train !

Man here i go again, and i firmly believe the reason these people get away with it is cause noone complains ill go over there and stick my HKS Super dragger right up his arse sideways and ask him to quantify what he said, while singing God save the queen through his right nostrill

What makes me laugh about the MOT is that it only guarantees the road worthiness of that vehicle on that day. So what's the point in the rozzerz getting you to dig it out for a producer then six months down the line?

Warren,

You can borrow my HKS Mega Flow if you want.

That way you can insert it in his ass and if he doesnt quantify well enough he will have an extra bored out arse with which to shit himself.

Im not sure i'd want it back after that tho
