Agreed; rushed bodgery and amount of popping and banging been done! wouldn't surprise me
RE: MOT - taking bets! - toseland - 17-02-2015
corroded rear handbrake cables!
failure
RE: MOT - taking bets! - darrenjlobb - 17-02-2015
Pass, or worst case emissions / rear brakes...
Provided everything else is quickly checked over etc for obvious issues before hand!
RE: MOT - taking bets! - 306Dan - 17-02-2015
As above, handbrake and emissions same thing my 306 fails on every year, I always add 50kg of weight in the boot and thrash it well

Is the plan for tomorrow! Swap the exhaust over and check front bushes and back end
RE: MOT - taking bets! - darrenjlobb - 17-02-2015
Long as theres no play anywhere, brakes are free / handbrake adjusted up, there pretty good for MOT really, provided engine / emissions are all ok anyway..

Is it a new cat or a second hand one your fitting?
Fail on emissions if it's second hand and a CV boot.
RE: MOT - taking bets! - Niall - 17-02-2015
Emissions i reckon. If you have a standard cat, you should be alright but if its aftermarket, you're going to have to get it glowing to scrape through that test.

Had both CV boots done last year and the exhaust is the same cat i used last year and it passed pretty well.
Havn't had the cat on for the bulk of the year!
I am highly optimistic

That'd be my luck
RE: MOT - taking bets! - darrenjlobb - 17-02-2015
Heh i never see how cars fail on things like washer jets / chipped windscreens / cv boots etc, as these are such easy things to check, I mean windscreen wash, why wouldnt you test it on the way! No point putting it in if it dosnt work!
Should be reet, just drive it on the door handles there and clean it inside / out / wheels archs etc before you start, show the tester you like the car, and he will to
RE: MOT - taking bets! - ginge191 - 18-02-2015
Done that already Darren! At the moment it's spanking clean!
Hoping it stays that way by Saturday!
RE: MOT - taking bets! - Sian - 19-02-2015
If mine passed yours will be fine ha
RE: MOT - taking bets! - Matt - 20-02-2015
It'll be straight through I reckon
If you need a hand, or a driveway if she does fail lemme know
RE: MOT - taking bets! - ginge191 - 21-02-2015
And she's in for the test.
Managed to get a non-flashing dash this morning also!
Whether that last or not
RE: MOT - taking bets! - WiNgNuTz - 21-02-2015
Good luck mate, here's hoping you get the same sort of surprise I did yesterday!

RE: MOT - taking bets! - bashbarnard - 21-02-2015
My mot is coming up in a week or so. Got to do my rear wheel bearing on payday then she will pass no problem. Already done a mock mot on it.
RE: MOT - taking bets! - ginge191 - 21-02-2015
Passed first time.
And the MOT tester loved the car. Started getting into depth about my "plenum chamber" and the technicalities behind air flow
He used to have one. He was very picky with advisories
Pin hole in CV boot
Both TRE's worn
But they're both seized so getting entire rods and ends changed.
Oh, and just realised, he fixed my door check strap; it was bent and missing a bolt. Didn't tell me - absolute legend!
