Mighty Signum fails MOT.
« on: 27 March 2019, 16:43:23 »
The good news is the test only cost £29.95.

Car failed on broken coil spring (again).... :-\

Both rear brakes excessively binding ......2.5 hours of labour.

Total £133 plus VAT......so £160.

Could be worse. :y Could be better. :-\

Rear brakes will be the handbrake self adjusters seizing within the callipers...

And I very nearly suggested a broken spring or two earlier ;D

Like you said, could be worse... at least it doesn't need welding ::)

Advisories were both rear tyres having cracked tread in the centre.
 

Exhaust also got a mention but then it is the original from 2007. I imagine a replacement could cost a few bob.

Also......offside front ball joint has slight play.

Coil springs seem prone to breaking on a regular basis.

Is that because you are a lard ass and subjecting them to extra load ?!!!
