Emily's MOT

[PJR]

took her to get the MOT done, and she failed - more welding it seems!

The front suspension mounts need a plate putting on, so i'm getting a quote to see what can be done! Other than that, a loose seatbelt, bad earth on rear lights and a hole in the exhaust...

any good welders in essex?

hi i know the feeling ...mine failed last week ..2 rear brake pipes corroded 1 bulb blown .(happened on the way to the center) and 2 shakey mirrors ( they are secure only shakey) still trying to stop them shaking,going in again tomorrow ,tightened the mirrors as much as possible ,i think its a bad design ,,if anyone else has shakey mirror syndrome please let me know .

Mirrors ? Is this a Mk2? Chassis cab or van? I can't believe they even mentioned it! If it's a chassis cab, they do wobble a bit cos of the length of the arms. Try very carefully 'freezing' them with superglue. Lift the arm up slightly and run some superglue underneath it. Let it go and let it set for a few hours or overnight before the next test. I bet they were creeping in at speed too! You can also slip a small piece of wet and dry under the mirror bracket and the door.
