failed MOT!

Post by MonkeeBoy »

ah man i feel well gutted, had the test today and it failed... thought everything was in working order... heres the list of what failed

1. wiperblade touch sunviser (easily sort that out buy shorter blades!)
2. Mid pipe blowing exhuast system has a major leak of exhaust gases,
well i\'ve allready sorted that out! lol, asked the people how much it\'ll be to replace it they said £140 then i asked for a cat back and its only £150 only £10 more expensive...
and its being put on tomorrow! :D
(from the same place that did my backbox)
3. exhuast fumes to high (obviously with a leak!)
4. on of the rear tyre tread is below 1.6mm (local garage fixing it)
5. offside near brake(wtf?)has wires broken and is significantly weakened (local garage again)
6. Fuel filter fuel system component insecure(local garage)

....well i\'ve calculated to be round £300odd to fix.... bollox lol
oh well :P
