Corrado MOT

Recommended Posts

The Corrado is going for its MOT next week.

 

This weekend I am doing:

 

The front brakes - discs and pads

The steering rack boot

 

What else should i think about doing/looking at?

Check the front top mounts, there was a thread recently showing the difference between a good one and a shagged one.

 

That's all I got warnings for this year.

Cool, they are new anyway - less than 8 months old!

blimey, anything really :)

 

a lot of the MOT is visual, check brake pipes for corrosion, steering and CV boots and ball joints and track rod ends for splits,

dampers for leaks and all your lights, fogs aren't actually in the MOT AFAIK but main bean is now as well as dip, ropey dip beam patterns are a common corrado fail as the reflectors tarnish with age.

screen chips?

tread depth and any excessive oil/coolant leaks

perished wiper blades

rear wheel bearings have a small amount of play, that's OK, but not excessive

One of my front fogs doesn't work - I think its a wiring issue somewhere else, but if its not in the test then thats ok.

 

I'll give everything a clean up and make sure there are no leaks. I do have a chip in my windscreen but its small at the moment. I need to get round to it.
