MOT time :(

Recommended Posts

Right, it's that time of the year :(

 

As far as I'm aware the car is mechanically sound aside from an occasional creaking noise when turning (probably the aftermarket TCA bushes) and a cracked fog lamp. Will the fog lamp need to be replaced?

 

Any other areas I need to look out for?

yep, nope, for fog :)

 

and yep there's plenty else to check :)

feeling a bit more helpful this time -

obvious things are split cv boots, wishbone bushes and ball joints

lights, incl rear fog, and warning bulb for fog switch on dash

washer jets and wipers, cracks on windscreen, headlight alignment/beam height

leaking/bouncy shocks, badly corroded brake pipes and perished flexi hoses, siezed rear compensator

blowing exhausts

high emissions and braking efficiency/evenness

excessive play in anything like steering, ball joints, wheel bearings, top mounts

excessive oil leaks, any fuel leaks :eek:

bald tyres :)
