ok so it failed MOT on rear indicators (£5 and a 5mins job) and offside front ball joint (£11.20 and a half hour job) and front disks and pads (£35 and about an hour and a half job) all in all not bad really!
Advisories were engine mounts are going hence exhaust knocking on sub every time it fires up (will get that sorted post MOT), fog light damaged (clip has broken - will sort that post MOT) non standard back box fitted and noisy (hahaha! sounds ace!)
So today jobs are to fit new bulbs and ball joint then run down to my parts place and grab the disks and pads for the front and thats tomorrows job then re-test sometime next week - happy days :-)
Also the car is chipped and I have been advised that this is not a good thing and to remove it as is the reason for the engine management light being on all the time, once this is done get a stage 2 remap - my question is - where the hell is the chip? looked everwhere but can't seem to locate it i suspect its hidden under the dash and cut into the wiring so may need an autoelectrician so as not to knock anything off - anyone have any suggestions as to location & removal????
Also i have been informed there is a way of tweaking the fuel filter (? maybe not sure if was the fuel filter maybe could be a flow meter or something ??) to get some extra clout out of it, just a case of an eigth of a turn will provide sufficient bhp increase - anyone know what that is???
Cheers
