hello people,
Just took my car down to the nissan garage for it's MOT and it failed on loads of things... i'd just like to know what people think... are nissan taking the P***?
1. rear lights aren't bright enough. they are tinted and apparently the tint is legal as long as the bulbs are bright enough but it got through the MOT last time in the same state at the same garage??!?!
2. Sun strip in "zone A" apparently Zone A is the space that the wipers wipe... but again it got through the MOT last time. surely other people have sunstrips and don't get this problem? could i get shorter wiper blades just for the MOT??
3. Headlights wrong beam. the passenger side light is a left hand drive one according to them but these are the crystal black ones that came in a pair... and they seem to have the same shaped reflector in them and no one has flashed me for blinding them???? James have you had any problem with yours??
4. front brake imbalance. one brake is quicker than the other but the pad wear is even on both side. does this make sense becasue i thought that they automatically balanced? how can i fix this?
5. side lights are blue. Ok i accept that but again it got through fine last time whats going on!!
6. Exhaust too low. i dropped the exhaust on cable ties so that it wouldn't keep hitting the towbar... surly that doesn't matter...
7. Rear seatbelts don't work. do i even need rear seat belts? can i take them out all together???
8. not enough thread on wheel bolts. the bolts don't have enough thread on them to keep the wheels on properly. i bought them from hellfrauds and said they are going on a micra and they said it would be fine... anyone else have this problem??
9. horn doesn't work. this worked the day before they looked at it because i tested it. they did a full service before they MOTed the car so i recon the buggered it...
which reminds me in a service do they check the oil levels? because i tried to check them and the dip stick was fully stuck and it was still stuck after they'd looked at it so i don't think they even checked it...
so lots of work to do... are they normaly this strict?? sorry for the long post but i'm very p***ed off!!!
any comments would be a big help...
thanks ppl
