Epic MOT fail

[stevieg]

1 offside front side light not working
2 Centre, at rear exhaust has major leak
3 Centre joint exhaust has major leak
4 front exhaust has major leak
5 nearside rear wheel bearing rough when rotated
6 offside rear wheel bearing rough when rotated
7 offside front brake hose leaking (dangerous)
8 nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint cover excessively damaged
9 nearside headlight aimed too high
10 nearside rear parking brake recording no effort
11 nearside rear parking brake recording little effort
12 parking brake below efficiency
13 brake pedal creeps down when held under pressure (dangerous)

1 is an easy fix, a bulb
2,3 and 4, gun gum it
5 and 6, both wheel bearings, needs a big hammer and circlip pliers
7 and 13 are both related
8, hammer and a new ball joint
9 point it down to match the other side
10, 11 and 12, adjust the shoes with the star wheel while the drums are off
lambda is an easy one too

at work we don't fail a car on bulbs unless the customer does not want to pay for the bulb and fitting (£10 per bulb) as anyone can at least check their bulbs before MoT
