bloody hell.... i aint a mechanic but with an MOT failure list that big i think you might be looking at a new car for around the same money as fixing it even with m8s help.

personally the thing i wud be most worried about is the corrosion as it can be a bitch to fix to an mot standard and the whole overheating and coolant leak problem.... any idea whats causing that? headgasket? or something more minor?

the steering rack and wheel bearing stuff are pretty easy and fairly cheap to sort tbh, or at least they can be done. a busted engine or rust problems is a lot harder 2 put right imo

[PRICER]

they dont even need to get into the petrol flap?!? so whys that an advisory?!? but by the sounds of it i dont like your steering column rear wheel bearing is easy enough to do, just put fibreglass over the rear suposedly rust bit and paint it black, and the front cv joint make sure its clean and put back in place and then cable tie it, they cant fair it on insecurely mounted i dont think, aslong as theirs no grease escaping from the gaiter itself, but the steering column is going to be the hardest, iv never removed one.

[BIG DAN]

i was thinkin why wud they open the petrol flap the steering rack isnt that hard to remove tbh just a bit of a fiddle cuz they are tight !

[kie-1200sxi-shed]

ano PETROL CAP WTF lol. ive done all the lights in 5 mins , just changed them to the origional red ones i had in garage. also had to remove the ''corsa-b.co.uk'' logo at top of windscreen. even though it didnt extend further than the origional sun tinting at the top

tbh i just think there picky tw@ts as there all old farts. dont think they like modified cars

with the whole engine overheating problem ive found out the fan doesnt work . so will have to look into that.

but the steering will have be done by a machanic , the rest i can get from the scrapyard hopefully.

got a pic of rear lights previously on there

[kie-1200sxi-shed]

1-6... put correct bulb's or lights on

7-8 .. adjust them

9-....remove sticker/?

10- replace bearing. not had one wear thou? they aint expensive thou. less than £10

11- secure it. see what bolts are loose. tighten them. "free"

12-..check tightness of u-j in foot well and if you have eps..... cry

13-..get a new cv boot clip. or cv boot "less than £10"

14-.. fit new bearing, £15 ish

15-..see why they would think it. if its unpainted. rub it down spray it up.

16-.. see why its getting to hot.? new fan switch. stuck themostat. dead water pump, airlock, or bridge the fan switch so it cant overheat

17-.. while your doin rear bearing slacken off the handbrake. adjust up the self adjusters on the shoes that never self adjust. then re-do the hand brake hould be on 3 clicks fully apply'd... or if your a mega star like me one click "dont do it.... takes ages to get right lol"

18.. take pads out clean them up. clean disks up. copper grease the back of pads and sliders. take for drive step on them a few times.

[bluecorsab]

you do have to check the fuel cap as its part of an mot test and the seal must be complete and the cap must be a secure fit oh and by the way im an mot tester so know what im talking about

[kie-1200sxi-shed]

DEFOO NOT THE BEST CAR but for £1300 for 54plate 50k miles it was a bargain.
