MOT on Monday!

[joesouthgate]

Right, Car is going in for Test on Monday. Got to weld up a couple of bits and stop the exhaust from blowing but other thatn that it seems okay.
Any common problems anyone has experienced K10s failing on?
My mum had one a few years ago and it went through every MOT no probs for 3 years!
Cheers
Joe

Mine failed on the fog and the light on the switch. Check all that sorta stuff cos you don't wanna fail on sommat stupid.

 

[joesouthgate]

yer will be having a check round tomorrow morning bulbs etc. pretty sure my fog light works anyway cause i was flashing it at my mate behind earlier

If you've lowered your car make sure the headlights are leveled correctly.

 

[joesouthgate]

havent lowered it yet! unless it fails on suspension in which case i'll probably order it!

Try not to worry too much about it MM, ther's only a few things to check

I was looking at the Steering section and it doesn't mention up and down movement in the steering column...so that's another thing to look at. :wasntme:

I'd be happy to prepare/write that guide frank, if you can give me details (+photos?). As I'm a student I've got loads of time.

[zanes]

[joesouthgate]

[joesouthgate]

[joesouthgate]

[ollyc98]

Yay!!! any advisories?

 

[joesouthgate]

Slighty reduced damping effect on both front dampers and Centre lower vehicle structure has slight corrosion! I was well pleased and surprised!
