Yeah, it passed  with 5 Advisories: 1 - Windscreen has damage to an area less than 40mm circle outside Zone A 2 - Power steering component has slight seepage. 3 - Offside brake juddering Slightly 4 - N/S/F (rear bush) Suspension arm has slight play in a Pin/Bush 5 - Front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements. It would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair. number 5 is as a result of number 3. The tester reckons that the disc overheated at one stage when new therefore warping the disc. ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

I won't be so bad next year, mainly because i tend to address the issues before-hand. ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!!

Tis a nervous time MOT time You say that, i had a right nightmare of a time getting my old 1.8 through a emissions test. Did the cambelt on it and who ever timed it up before i had it clearly worked by the "that will do" Method. Timed it up properly (was a fair way out) and it passed very very well! |

Isn't it just the P bush thats the issue? N/S/F tells me its the front end of the vehicle thats the issue, rear bush being the P bush. Still not a 2 minute job though. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

 I just read the bit about 'rear bush' and completely missed the 'N/S/F'. Yep, just a P bush so no need for much drama. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
