carpoid 0 Posted March 3, 2005 Cool, doesn't your car just bottom out all the time?? Are muti-storey car parks out of the question? Does it scrape the sump on things? Looks wicked on the RC's !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A20 LEE 0 Posted March 3, 2005 Car was booked in at 5.30 only thing i was advised abt was cars on the low side!!! Had to remove the front spilter so it would get on rollers.. anyway, it PASSED!!! Had my MOT two weeks ago. Mine was too low for the roller so the MOT guy just inspected the front bumper carefully and stated the brakes must be fine. Really!!

daves16v 1 Posted March 3, 2005 Bally, nice one mate. Had my MOT yesterday and it flew thru. Just an advisory on low beam aim on passenger side :D Not bad for a 10 year old car, yours is even older Bally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had my MOT two weeks ago. Mine was too low for the roller so the MOT guy just inspected the front bumper carefully and stated the brakes must be fine. Really!! I'm amazed your car got through its MOT quite honestly lee, what with things like the lack of side repeaters, etc - you must have a very understanding MOT tester :D :) With regards the braking thing, Tempest said to me that his local MOT garage have some kind of decelerometer for braking tests on cars that are too low to get on the brake testing machine - they need to use it on his Rieger kitted MK1 as its seriously decked. They just take the car out, pile on the brakes and then this gadget will tell you whether the braking force is enough or not. Surprised your place didnt have one of those..?

seanoVR 0 Posted March 4, 2005 I stupidly took mine to Eaton Square Motors in the smartest area of London , thinking it would sail through... They nailed me for handbrake cables (didn't feel slack at all to me) and charged 160 to do it. Bloody £75 an hour labour.... cheeky bar stewards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C. Will Corrado G60 2 0 Posted March 4, 2005 Bally, I got the emmisions sorted out straight away, just needed a little tweak. Hopefully have everything else sorted out nice a quickly.
