MOT...
« on: 07 February 2007, 18:27:35 »
Ok. I am now in a REALLY bad mood!  >:( >:( >:( >:(

I just typed all this out, went to post, and promptly lost internet connection!!  >:(

MV6 failed on the following...

1. Nearside headlamps matched pair are incorrectly positioned.

2. Offside (high and not in focus) headlamps matched pair are incorrectly positioned.

3. Offside rear coil spring is incomplete.

4. Offisde front tyre tread depth below legal requirements of 1.6mm

5. Rear parking brake recording little or no effort.

Advisory on nearside front tyre wear too.

Right then....

1. Easy fix. Sort adjuster in n/s/f wheel arch.

2. Will be partly sorted by 1. But I also have moisture in the lens meaning replacement o/s HID unit!  >:(

3. I blame Mark and his "testing" of the suspension at the weekend!  ;D
Seriously though. Mark, can I borrow that good spring please? I just need it to get through the MOT.
I am replacing the whole setup very soon so no I have not lost my marbles in wanting to change 1 spring!

4. Change front tyres. I knew they were going to need doing soon so no great suprise.

5. Replace handbrake cable and give rear brakes a good service.

Nothing major (apart from potential cost of replacement HID unit! :o)), but of course now all this is required just as winter finally decided to arrive!!!  >:(

LB, if its just for a few days, I think Matchless has one that he promised to Tunnie, and was going to fit in around 10days.....

I have already spoken to LB about these minor blemishes tonight.

We have a plan.

Headlamp - dry it out and seal it up.

Headlamp aim, connect back up again.

Handbrake - new cable and sort shoes out.

Rear Spring - I am kindly volunteering Mark to do

Tyre - put a new one on.

Not so bad. How to turn a £200 banger back into a half decent MV6 in one easy go.

Ta Da! :)

Dave, I have indeed got the the "good" spring from Jaimes MV6 in the back of my Senny. However as pointed out Matchless was going to donate a spring to me that was the same... so that should do to get your MV6 though its MOT.

I can't bring the senny up this weekend, the fuel line is cracked... :'(

Must have already been like that..... ::)

Silly bugger  ;)

5. Rear parking brake recording little or no effort.

Thought you were doing that as well before the MOT.....
