Good luck mate
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

Re: MOT tomorrow afternoon. by dave1966 on Tue Apr 12, 2011 4:19 pm
Update:-

The STIG! failed his mot on:-

1. Nearside (sill holed) seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded.
2. Offside (sill holed) seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded.
3. Nearside rear leaf spring fractured.
4. Offside outer track rod end ball joint has excessive play.

Advisories:-

5. Steering system has slight free play detected at steering wheel.
6. Offside brake pipe slightly corroded.
7. Nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit.
8. Offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit.
9. Front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements. It would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair.
10. Front brake discs pitted.
11. Steering idler has slight play.

:shock: Well the good news is the list of failures isn't that bad and easily sorted. :) And you have a lot to keep you busy after you get it passed with the advisories but once again not that bad really

Re: MOT tomorrow afternoon. by dave1966 on Tue Apr 12, 2011 5:09 pm
4x4 bobby,I dont think its to bad considering that there was a 2000 BMW 3 series diesel in for its mot before my fronty and it failed on the rear drivers side suspension leaking,both front track rod ends,leaking front passenger side suspension,insecure exhaust system,emissions and there was 3 or 4 pages of things it failed on. So I think my Fronty was quite good compared to that BMW. :lol:
