Title: Mot failed.
Post by leewar on Oct 28^th, 2012, 2:27pm

Small things really. Front wishbone bush and steering rack knuckle joint on the nearside plus brake pipes.

Brake pipes changed, knuckle replaced both sides and wishbones replaced both sides. Would have changed front bush but wasn't sure how(posted seperately)
Retest tomorrow.

Good news Lee. I take it you sorted the suspension bush?. ;)

Thanks Mike. To get it through the MOT, it was easier to replace the wishbones with the spares that I have ;) I will change the bushes as per the instructions I was given and then put them back on!!
At least I have a ticket ;D Cheers Lee

well done Lee pity it took some hard work but better that than the scrap yard.

In the end I think the hard work is worth it Andy :) It cost me nothing as I have the spares, which makes it easier.

Well these cars are the best despite the bad design faults.
