Title: MOT
Post by: pauls on 02 May 2014, 13:06:22
Just went for Mot and it passed with no problem.(helps when you know mot man) :y
 
He did say I need to change the steering idler..Oh well that will teach me not to listen to advise from here. Was told to buy one from the dealer but decided to buy one from vaux-world. It hasnt even been on for a month. >:(

Off to dealers now to get robbed  :'(

Lemforder I think is the one to go for, try Allgermanparts?

Have you checked for play? Jack up both sides and see if it moves?
