Mot is a ball-ache

[VTHall]

Its this week and ive had to:

Swap my decat pipe for standard one. (which ive lost the fire gasket for so the standard one is now blowing!!
rip off the sunstrip.
Fit a new grommit for my washer bottle.
Changed my gear knob + gaitor
Had to swap over my smoked lights for standards
Take off spare tyre (as it was bald)

Fuck sake! lol

[VTHall]

thats like an hours work lol

Its not, it took me an hour to get to where i could get the car on ramp for starters, ive never changed any exhaust before.. that took me 2 hours on its own lol, had to take the wheel off to fit the new washer bottle.
etc lol

life is a bitch we learn by our mistakes

[Morgiee]

The smoked lights wont be an issue uless you cant see the lights when emmited or the reflector, Decat part missing must be the wire gasket holding the centre section to the mani.

Gear knob?... Doesnt comoe into it.
Spare, could be bald as fuck, and flat as a pancake... They can only advise a spare, not fail regardless of condition.

Sunstrip...fit smaller wipers, so it doesnt touch.

Unless things have changd they are more leniant than most

Another bit of advice based on WHAT? If the spare is fitted then it must be legal as does a road tyre. If it is not legal it WILL fail. If it is removed then not a problem.

If they coukd fail it for being deflated or bald, they would fail it for not being there...

Btw, ask me what i do for a living. Thanks.

[saxo-john]

Its illegal to use a defectec tyre...not to carry.

you work for shit fit or did.
Enough said

if it is there it has to be legal, if it aint there it cant be testd so cant fail.

[marcusd]

never had any fails on my sunstrip or smoked lights. i don;t bother changing anything over as when i end up getting pulled i like to show them the pass note as it is so they can;t complain i;ve changed things over

I owe you an apology!!!! The spare is NOT part of the MOT as you indicate.

We don't carry out MOT's but send them to a garage that does as we are in an area saturated with MOT test stations so never bothered setting up. Guess what, they would fail any car we send them with a defective tyre, but then again it is a branch of ATS....what do they supply....mmmmm!

Humble pie tonight for me!
