Best MOT advisory ever

[Guy]

I've removed my rear seats and seatbelts and fitted a proper spare wheel. It's a piece of 18mm plywood covered in felt approx. 39"x44". The wheel holder is a postcard sized piece of quarter inch plate with two lengths of M12 threaded rod welded on. This is screwed to the plywood and the plywood is bolted to the car through two of the seatbolt holes. The wheel is held down by two M12 stainless wingnuts off eBay:

The advisory said 'No rear seats or seatbelts :laugh:. The weight reduction is amazing, even with the plywood and wheel you can feel the car is faster!

Chuck the lot then!!

K11s are cool Stani, they have a proper spare. Those noddy space saver wheels are a joke grr.

 

[Stani1029]

Ah they come with spacesavers! Did you have to buy a spare alloy then?

 

[Guy]

Yeah, got it off eBay. There's a big flat spot on the inside but they fitted the tyre without mentioning it and it drives perfectly .

I had the same advisory with my gx.... After laughing I had to ask the moter if he was being serious

On the MOT computer there is a box to enter advisories not listed.
In the garage I worked at at the time they introduced MOT computerisation I brought an Astra in for an MOT. There was a couple of pounds of change on the drivers seat, as if it had fallen out the customers pocket. Being considerate and keeping the customer informed I printed...
'Change found on O/S/F seat. Advise drivers pockets faulty.' :laugh:
Neither my boss or the customer were impressed!

 

[Guy]

That's hilarious :laugh:.

Isn't there something about needing to prove windscreen wash jets work... Even if the car being tested has no windscreen fitted? Lol

But that is awesome on the faulty pocket, I'd have asked for a quote on a zip being fitted by the garage!
