Terrified............Its MOT day tomorrow.......!!
« on: 09 April 2009, 18:13:29 »
Just to ask for reassurance and comfort cos its the worst day of my year tomrw............MOT day........

Shes booked in for 8.30am so i dont waste all day bricking it.....

Car feels nice and tight now (thanks Mark DTM) but there is always the worry that it may well fail on something, and with our holiday coming up soon its an expense I could well do without if it needs anything doing to pass.......

Dont know if its a good sign or a bad sign, but my sisters Astra (that we have been trying to sort out) failed its MOT for the second time today on emissions again......

Please dear sweet Jesus let my car pass first time...........

PPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Well, just got back from the MOT, then we went Tescos and KFC (can afford food now!!!) to celebrate cos she PASSED !!!!!

Initially failed on.....

1. Headlamp aim drivers side too high
2. Exhaust mount missing
3. Remaining exhaust mounting not strong enough to support the system

However, I noticed the MOT tester adjusting the headlamp aim and the technicians fitted 2 new mountings (all done free of charge) so for some reason they gave me a failure sheet with the details above on plus the Pass sheet at the same time.

I also noticed the bugger tapping the headlghts trying to get them to flicker.........!!!!

No advisories at all, just the above bits now sorted.

I must say a BIG THANK YOU to Mark DTM for his total expertise and the care he has taken to help get the car ready for its MOT. He did some bits and bobs on it as well as a service recently and I am convinced his input has made all the difference to the results today.

Cheers and thank god for this forum !!!!!

Nice One Webby  :y :y

Glad the bulbs held out!!!!  You probablly had the fail sheet as well -- as I have learned -- this will help keep their fail rate up too. But their common sense prevailed and they gave it a pass after minor works.
