Pete it won't pass with a blowing exhaust. It will cause your emissions to be far too high, trust me mate I've had it twice. Where is it blowing from? Also, get the bulb replaced too, it's only a cheapy bulb..would you rather fail your MOT for the sake of a £1 bulb?

My mum's old 405 passed a MOT with a Henry Hoover pipe inserted somewhere in the Exhaust, look into this if its blowing! or bung the guy £20 to pass it.

[C4_Lew]

mine passed with a massive gap between my center section and back box might get away with it lol

[ed-bradley]

Ive been troubled with my exhaust, Its blowing from the backbox outlet pipe.. would that fail or not? I no its a thread hijack, but damn I'm miffed about it.

Oh right. Well in that case it should be fine, have a look at the sticky's and do all the relevant MOT checks, and if you're sure everything is in order, it should sail through mate.

You can buy all sorts of different sealants and bands to stop exhausts from blowing mate. Just mines up by the CAT, which is impossible to get too just using axel stands...

As long as you've booked it in comfortably before the MOT expires, if anything happens you will have ample time to get any repairs done.

Think positive!

[wesley-saxo]

there is a guide on mot checks on a thread

[Petee]

Got a call from the garage. Steering rack gator is insecure. And the axel gator has gone. Gunna cost £190 with fixing the exhaust as well... Joyful start to the day

[McGuire86]

What is the axle gator ?

[Petee]

Driveshaft sorry. He said it's gone all hard or something..

[Pieface]

£190? Pah! My last MOT was £550

[SAM-S44MDS-]

Meh, my last 2 car MOT's haven't cost anything

And my bike MOT cost £7

At £550, I would say what was right with it would get a shorter answer

[AdamSaxo]

if its a blowing from the box, a blob of like £5 repair putty will do the trick. if the hole is too big, just put a short screw in first and put putty beneath and on top. got mine fixed n passed MOT

What the fuck What was wrong with it? Was it really worth it ?

[Pieface]

All the shocks were blown, rear brake pads and something else I can't remember.
