UPDATE:
well as some know it went into the garage for a check-up before the MOT to sort out the problems it had. My mechanic at the garage phoned me up and said, we've got an open MOT slot, do you want us to put it through and then we know what needs doing.
I thought, yeah why not, seeing as theyre doing the MOT cheaper and i get a free re-test anyway. So through it went...and...FAIL
Havnt seen the official document yet, but what iv been told over the phone is as follows:
- Offside Front tire bald
- Rear Indicator bulbs discoloured
- Front Headlight (morettes) Not fitted correctly and not pointing in correct direction
- Rear brakes not registering any effect (eek)
- Offiside Ball joint In need of Replacement
- Nearside CV Boot not attatched properly, but probably needs replacing
..and now the worrying one...
- Emissions
Apparentely, it not only failed on emissions, the emissions werent even close!
The exhaust has been blowing for a while, which doesnt help emissions, but apparently that coupled with the fact i have an induction kit on caused it to fail.
so im off down to the scrappies by foot to try and get a standard airbox, which could prove fun!
cars getting everything else fixed in the garage today (or at least i hope it will be done by today) then hopefully retest and it'll be ok
Been quoted £350 for the repair work.
Not good! but hopefully everything will be running smoothly when i get her back!
(Though the gearbox is still probably fubar'd)
updates when i know more!
