Passed my MOT and chuffed to bits but there were two advisory comments:

- some cracking on o/s drive shaft outer gator

- some corrosion on fuel pipe by fuel pump

 

Are these serious? can i deal with them easily or should i get a mechanic to do it?? :) cheers guys

Both ultimately need attention, but your MOT tester probably felt they weren't severe enough. The cracking on the CV boot for most testers has to be a visible crack where the grease starts to come out of. Yours may have just been surface cracks.

Fuel piping id personally get a mechanic to deal with it, unless your a dab hand at that sort of think. Best to get things sorted if you can afford it rather than be sorry.

i got mine at the end of the month, i`m hoping i should be ok with my illegal plates and rear lights oooohhhh!

benji16v, plates just have to be readable, clean and not cracked for an MOT... There's nothing about the typeface in the MOT rules... ;)

 

What's wrong with your rear lights to make you think they'll fail?

Yeah, that's the funny thing, as on the other hand, you could get pulled by a copper who happens to know the DVLA rules for number plates (typefaces, spacing, size etc.)

cheers guys on the plates i hope they should be fine

 

as far as my lights go they are a little bit too red when indicating in daylight, at night they do look orange and i think the fella sprayed over the reflectors :lol: Doh.....

 

we`ll see, not really a massive job to change `em over if they do fail

 

will let you all know
