Do you think it will pass? Considering its been off the road for over 9 months now.

With the amount of work you've put in Stu, I should bloody think it will!

Dont forget the £20 note taped to the underside of the bonnet :D

It'll be fine Stu, unless you've had hermy helping you of course.... :rofl: :tongue: ;)

You said it may fail on emissions didn't you mate? .. so that is the most likely.

 

Hope it doesn't though.

Damn, I forgot that part. ;)

Well Im back and the verdict is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

FAIL!

 

 

On very little things mind you. I passed the emissions which was surprising.

 

Failed on 3 things.

 

Hazard lights where going off all the time. :confused: We worked it out to be my alarm going off, but it was on silent mode so the hazards just flash.

 

Drivers headlight has too much moisture in to be able to test light pattern.

 

So that is a 10 min job with a hair dryer.

 

Slight brake fluid leak from the master cylinder/servo area. :(

 

 

The only one I am worried about is the fluid leak.

I am quite happy with the rest.

Where do you get yours MOT'd Stu?

Good luck with them mate - shouldn't be too much mither!

Is that not a tyre specialist?

Quickest way to dry out the headlamp is to tape a piece of cardboard, tight to the lens, and turn the headlamps on for 5 mins, that'll clear it.

As for the fluid around the servo, if you cant see it leaking, put it down to over filling the resevoir, or fluid being pushed out the top when fitting new pads, and spray some brake cleaner around it and wipe it off, if they cant see it leaking, they cant fail it!!

I cleared the lens by taking the dip bulb out and then turining on the main beam for 30 mins or so.

 

I looked at the master cylinder, and one of the lines seemed to be leaking where it screwed into it. I tightened it up a little and now it seems to have stopped.

 

Retest tomorrow at 10am :D

Good news mate, 2nd time round then!!

defo a pass this time. Good luck (not that you will need it now)
