all in the MOT testers hands

when i was at the mot station i asked about the vin tag and he said it was ok to stamp one myself

Is that strictly legal and how do you do it? I thought they weren't allowed off the chassis.

Its perfecty legal to stamp your own VIN tag as far as the MOT is concerned, so long as the numbers/figures you put on it match those in VOSA's database you are fine, if they dont match you wont get a cert issued.

i think he is keeping us all waiting for gaydon! mind you somebody might take a few picks at the meet at the weekend!

update - last night before MOT

well just got in been working solid since i got in from work - unfortunatly it will fail as i have no windscreen washers i cant find the jets anyware

apart from that brakes i haven't touched - they still feel spongey but i'll take my chance

screen went in too easy

and EVERYONE who's heard it says it will fail on being too noisy i'm the only one who thinks its ok

the wireing is still a mess but i dont want to tape up the loom untill ive added all the extra wires - its tiewrapped safe - just looks a pigs ear

[Guy88]

could you not bang a universal set in for the test

[Luke]

washer jets probly but if thats all it fails on i'll be happy, anyway i didn't have any time

[djswampy]

Good luck!

[MONSTER 0NE]

Good luck with the mot mate

[Luke]

Failed but nothing too major, just little clips and stuff eg track rod ends no splitpins

worst one is rack is notchy which it is, but i may fit the pas rack

hopefully i'll get it retested sat then be ok for the northern meet on sunday

oh and the exhausts are LOUD didnt fail but too much for driving around like

brakes were fine, didnt feel too bad once i drove it, i think it was just i was used to my mk4 which is a rock hard pedal

oh and i aslo swapped the springs over yesterday clearance is now 220mm

[madmark]

well done mate get that retest abit sharpish and get her on the road!

tbh the reason i didnt fit em is i was planning to fit the pas and i just ran out of time and forgot ive even got 2 new tre's for the pas rack

1 more thing he knocked it on was no drivers mirror - even tho it passed with 1 mirror (centre) before it now has 2 (pass & centre) it must have the drivers - he says last tester was wrong

Yep, must have two mirrors, drivers(must have) and any other one.
