Just noticed I have a hole in the floor under the spare wheel, where its risted around the drain grommet 

Hoping its not noticed by Mr MOTer tomorrow

Shouldn't be a fail, although it may be close Basically under 300mm from any seatbelt, suspension or chassis point is fail

They will, but should be ok as its far enough away from a main structure point, or what ever their definition is.

I shall give him something obvious to fail it on, I'll knock the headlights up a tad   (run out of knackered orange bulbs for the indicators )

Hammer on the drivers side windscreen will do the trick.

He's yet to fail it on the rather great chip, about the size of a 50p, in the wiper arc

Depends where in the arc Anywhere other than driver's line of site and it's not a fail

If it had a rubber grommet, then technically the hole is pre existing part of the car, put there by the people who designed and built it

Was a common issue on MK2 Granada saloons, but not an MoT problem unless you could put your hand through it although, if the car was that rotten, there were several other panels to fix first

I think Mark has some off-cuts from the buffer beam off the DMU....could tack a bit of that across the hole.
