Few things as of late:
Hiq nackered my locking wheel nuts, this caused me to severely become p*ssed at them and forced them to buy brand new locking wheel nuts for me and due to wasting my time fit new track rod ends as it was my only day off before my MOT. This got sorted and I was happy.
MOT day:
here we are today. I was advised to take the car to a "friendly" MOT tester and the following has just been brought through:
Dangerous fittings to the headlight, insecure - my headlight has had a single catch snapped on it for the past 3 years. Funny how it's only just been mentioned!
Cat, insufficient or not working - well I knew that, luckily I should have a working cat in the house.
Exhaust - leaking/blowing- again I know this, but again the supersprint system has been blowing for the past 2 years.
Braking system, insufficient/dangerous - I know that the discs could do with a change, but the shoes in the drums may also need changing which tbh, is news to me.
Managed to brake very hard yesterday, hardest I'd used my brakes since track time, and apart from locking up once it felt fine... but I know that they may be warped as the car does snake/squirm about under sudden/heavy braking... but the MOT place can't decide what exactly is wrong
I know the caliper isn't seized otherwise it would be sticking which would cause me to career off the road by now. Don't know what to think atm!
What I know is that I'm starting uni next week and I'm not only car less now but have less free time to work on it
The bloke said "may not be worth fixing, could cost in excess of £700" to which i replied "I'll do it myself then, get the welding sorted and fix everything thanks"
It's the fact that they're so vague about the braking system that has fcked me right off as I don't know what to focus on/replace.
